Additional windshield breakage may
also occur from the right front
passenger airbag.
• Airbags are designed to inflate
only once. After an airbag inflates,
you will need some new parts for
the airbag system. If you do not
get them, the airbag system will
not be there to help protect you in
another crash. A new system will
include airbag modules and
possibly other parts. The service
manual for your vehicle covers
the need to replace other parts.
• The vehicle has a crash sensing
and diagnostic module which
records information after a crash.
See Vehicle Data Recording and
Privacy on page 12-3 and Event
Data Recorders on page 12-4.
• Let only qualified technicians work
on the airbag systems. Improper
service can mean that an airbag
system will not work properly. See
your dealer/retailer for service.

The vehicle has an airbag on-off
switch that you can use to manually
turn on or off the outboard front
passenger frontal airbag.
This switch should only be turned to
the off position if the person in the
outboard front passenger position is
a member of a passenger risk group

national government as follows:

which, according to the infant's
physician, makes it necessary for
the infant to ride in the front seat
so that the driver can constantly
monitor the child's condition.
Child age 1 to 12. A child age 1 to
12 must ride in the front seat
because:
• My vehicle has no rear seat;
• Although children ages 1 to 12
ride in the rear seat(s) whenever
possible, children ages 1 to 12
sometimes must ride in the front
because no space is available in
the rear seat(s) of my vehicle; or
