This system shuts off the passenger front
and side Air Bags and seat belt pretensioner
system, so make sure the passenger Air Bag
deactivation indicator light turns on.

may provide an output signal to the
occupant classification sensor that is
different from the occupant's properly
seated weight input. This may result in
serious injury or death in a collision.
WARNING!

your instrument panel could mean you
won't have the air bags to protect you in
a collision. If the light does not come on

occupant classification sensor from
working properly, which may result in
serious injury or death in a collision. Do
not place any objects on the floor under
the front passenger seat.
