Safety features of your vehicle
Proper position
OCV031081
When an adult is seated in the front pas-
senger seat, if the PASSENGER AIR BAG
" " indicator is on, change the ENGINE
START/STOP button to the OFF position
and ask the passenger to sit properly
(sitting upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the
floor). Restart the vehicle and have the
person remain in that position. This will
allow the system to detect the person
and to enable the passenger air bag.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG "
tor is still on, ask the passenger to move
to the rear seat.
WARNING
PASSENGER AIR BAG "
Do not allow an adult passenger to ride
in the front seat when the PASSENGER
AIR BAG " " indicator is illuminated,
because the air bag will not deploy in the
event of a crash. The driver must
instruct the passenger to reposition him-
self in the seat. Failure to properly posi-
tion yourself may lead to air bag
deactivation resulting in air bag non-
deployment in a collision. If the PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG " " indicator remains illu-
minated after the passenger repositions
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 "
illuminates for about 4 seconds after the
ENGINE START/STOP button is turned
to the ON position after the vehicle is
started. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, the occupant detection sensor
will then classify 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
deploying air bag can forcefully strike
a child resulting in serious injuries or
death.
" indica-
Any child age 12 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.
" light
If the ODS is not working properly, the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air
bag warning light on the instrument
panel will appear because the passen-
ger's front air bag is connected with the
ODS. If there is a malfunction of the ODS
the PASSENGER AIRBAG "
will not illuminate. In this case, the pas-
senger's front airbag will inflate in frontal
impact crashes even if there is no occu-
pant in the front passenger seat.
