WARNING! (Continued)
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious
injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child
restraint.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in
the front seat of a vehicle. Only use a
rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat.
If the vehicle does not have a rear seat, do
not transport a rear-facing child restraint in
that vehicle.
Driver And Passenger Front Air Bag Features
The Advanced Front Air Bag system has
multistage driver and front passenger air bags.
This system provides output appropriate to the
severity and type of collision as determined by
the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which
may receive information from the front impact
sensors (if equipped) or other system
components.
The first stage inflator is triggered immediately
during an impact that requires air bag
deployment. A low energy output is used in less
severe collisions. A higher energy output is used
for more severe collisions.
This vehicle may be equipped with a driver and/
or front passenger seat belt buckle switch that
detects whether the driver or front passenger
seat belt is buckled. The seat belt buckle switch
may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced
Front Air Bags.
This vehicle may be equipped with driver and/or
front passenger seat track position sensors that
may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced
Front Air Bags based upon seat position.
This vehicle has an Occupant Classification
System (OCS) in the front passenger seat. The
OCS is designed to activate or deactivate the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag depending on
the occupant's seated weight. It is designed to
deactivate the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
for an unoccupied seat and for occupants whose
seated weight classifies them in a category other
than a properly seated adult. This could be a
child, teenager, or even an adult.
The Passenger Air Bag Disable (PAD) Indicator
Light (an amber light located on the overhead
sports bar) tells the driver and front passenger
when the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is
deactivated. The PAD Indicator Light illuminates
the words "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" to show
that the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will
not deploy during a collision.
NOTE:
When the front passenger seat is empty or
when very light objects are placed on the seat,
the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will not
deploy even though the Passenger Air Bag
Disable (PAD) System Indicator Light is NOT illu-
minated.
WARNING!
No objects should be placed over or near
the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a colli-
sion severe enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.
