Conditions in which front passen-
ger s SRS frontal airbag is not
activated
The front passenger s SRS frontal airbag
will not be activated when any of the
following conditions are met regarding the
front passenger s seat:
. The seat is empty.
. The seat is equipped with an appro-
priate child restraint system and an infant
is restrained in it. (See WARNING that
follows.)
. The front passenger s occupant detec-
tion system is malfunctioning.
WARNING
NEVER INSTALL A FORWARD OR
REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT
IN THE FRONT PASSENGER S SEAT
EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSEN-
GER S SRS FRONTAL AIRBAG IS
DEACTIVATED. Be sure to install it
in the REAR seat in a correct
manner. Also, it is strongly recom-
mended that any forward facing
child seat or booster seat be in-
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
stalled in the REAR seat, and that
even children who have outgrown a
child restraint system be also
seated in the REAR seat. This is
because children sitting in the front
passenger s seat may be killed or
severely injured should the front
passenger s SRS frontal airbag de-
ploy. REAR seats are the safest
place for children.
CAUTION
When the front passenger s seat is
occupied by an infant in an appro-
priate child restraint system, ob-
serve the following precautions.
Failure to do so may interfere with
the proper operation of the occu-
pant detection system, activating
the front passenger s SRS frontal
airbag even though that seat is
occupied by the infant in the child
restraint system.
. Do not place any article (includ-
ing electronic devices) on the
seat other than the infant in the
child restraint system.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
. Do not place more than one
infant in the child restraint sys-
tem.
If the front passenger s frontal
airbag ON indicator illuminates
and the OFF indicator turns off
even when an infant or a small
child is in a child restraint sys-
tem (including booster seat)
1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK /
OFF position.
2. Remove the child restraint system
from the seat.
3. By referring to the child restraint
manufacturer s recommendations as well
as the child restraint system installation
procedures in Child restraint systems
1-21, correctly install the child restraint
system.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position and make sure that the front
passenger s frontal airbag ON indicator
turns off and the OFF indicator illuminates.
If still the ON indicator remains illuminated
while the OFF indicator turns off, take the
following actions.
. Ensure that no article is placed on the
seat other than the child restraint system
and the child occupant.
