Safety features of your vehicle
illuminated after the passenger reposi-
tions themselves properly and the car is
restarted, it is recommended that pas-
senger move to the rear seat because
the passenger's front air bag will not
deploy.
NOTICE
The PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" indica-
tor illuminates for about 4 seconds after
the ignition switch or ENGINE START/
STOP button is turned to the ON posi-
tion or after the engine is started. If the
front passenger seat is occupied, the
occupant detection sensor will then clas-
sify the front passenger after several
more seconds.
僅 Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant detection system,
never install a child restraint system in
the front passenger's seat. A deploy-
ing air bag can forcefully strike a child
resulting in serious injuries or death.
Any child age 13 and under should
ride in the rear seat. Children too large
for child restraints should use the
available lap/shoulder belts. No mat-
ter what type of crash, children of all
ages are safer when restrained in the
rear seat.
僅 If the PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF"
indicator is illuminated when the front
passenger's seat is occupied by an
adult and he/she sits properly (sitting
upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and their feet
on the floor), have that person sit in
the rear seat.
Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
Any child age 13 and under should ride
in the rear seat. Children too large for
child restraints should use the available
lap/shoulder belts. No matter what type
of crash, children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat
If the occupant detection system is not
working properly, the SRS air bag warn-
ing light on the instrument panel will illu-
minate because the passenger's front air
bag is connected with the occupant
detection system. If there is a malfunc-
tion of the occupant detection system,
the PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" indica-
tor will not illuminate and the passen-
ger's front air bag will inflate in frontal
impact crashes even if there is no occu-
pant in the front passenger's seat.
