Additional Information About Your Airbags
Be aware that objects placed on
the passenger's seat can also
cause the airbag to be turned off.
When the passenger airbag gets
turned off by the weight sensors, a
''passenger airbag off'' indicator in
the center of the dashboard comes
on (see page ).
30
If the weight sensors detect there is
no passenger in the front seat, the
airbag is automatically turned off.
However, the passenger airbag off
indicator in this situation will not
come on.
26
To ensure that the passenger's
advanced front airbag system will
work properly,
do not do anything
that would increase or decrease the
weight on the front passenger's seat.
This includes:
A rear passenger pushing or
pulling on the back of the front
passenger's seat.
Moving the front seat or seat-back
forcibly back against cargo on the
seat or floor behind it.
Moving the front seat or seat-back
forcibly back against the folded
rear seat.
Hanging heavy items on the front
passenger seat, or placing heavy
items in the seat-back pocket.
Back seat passengers should not
wedge objects or intentionally
force their feet under the front
passenger seat.
If your vehicle is equipped with
the floor mats, make sure the floor
mat behind the front passenger's
seat is hooked to the floor mat
anchor (see page 320 ). If it is not,
the mat may interfere with the
proper operation of the sensors
and operation of the seat.
