Advanced Restraints System - Aston Martin DB 9 2010 Manual

Advanced Restraints System

The Advanced Restraints System provides the following, in addition
to the Restraints System.
Front Passenger Sensing
Front passenger sensing is designed to meet the regulatory
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)208
and is designed to disable the front passenger's front airbag under
certain conditions.
The system works with sensors which are installed in the front
passenger's seat. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of
a properly seated occupant and determine if the front passenger's
front airbag should be enabled or disabled.
If it is necessary to modify the Advanced Restraints system to
accommodate a person with disabilities, contact your Aston Martin
Dealer at the phone number shown in the Dealer Directory of this
Owner's Guide.
Front passenger sensing will disable the front passenger's front airbag
if:
• The front passenger seat is unoccupied
• A child is present or a child is present in a child seat which is
installed according to the manufacturer's instructions
• A front passenger takes their weight off of the seat for a period of
time
If the front passenger seat is occupied
and the sensing system has turned the
passenger's front airbag OFF, the PASS
AIRBAG OFF symbol (A) will come ON
and stay ON to show that the front
passenger front airbag is OFF.
Front passenger sensing will enable the
front passenger's front airbag anytime
the system senses that a person of adult
size is sitting properly in the front
passenger seat.
