WARNINGS

the protection of the airbag, you also may

reduce the effectiveness of your safety belt

system, which was designed to work with

the airbag. If you are not a person who

meets the requirements stated in the

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration or Transport Canada

deactivation criteria turning off the airbag

can increase the risk of serious injury or

death in a crash.

If your vehicle has rear seats, always

transport children who are 12 and

younger in the rear seat. Always use

safety belts and child restraints properly.

Do not place a child in a rear facing infant

seat in the front seat unless your vehicle is

equipped with an airbag on and off switch

and the passenger airbag is turned off. This

is because the back of the infant seat is

too close to the inflating airbag and the

risk of a fatal injury to the infant when the

airbag inflates is substantial.

If the pass airbag off light is

illuminated when the passenger

airbag switch is on and the ignition

is on, have the passenger airbag switch

serviced at your authorized dealer

immediately.

The passenger airbag remains off until you

turn it back on.

E162723

1. Insert the ignition key and turn the

switch to ON.

2. The pass airbag off light will briefly

illuminate when the ignition is turned

to on. This indicates that the passenger

airbag is operational.

The passenger side airbag should always

be on (the pass airbag off light should not

be illuminated) unless the passenger is a

person who meets the requirements stated

either in Category 1, 2 or 3 of the National

Highway Traffic Safety Administration or

Transport Canada deactivation criteria

which follows.

The vast majority of drivers and passengers

are much safer with an airbag than

without. To do their job and reduce the risk

of life threatening injuries, airbags must

open with great force, and this force can

pose a potentially deadly risk in some

situations, particularly when a front seat

occupant is not properly buckled up. The

most effective way to reduce the risk of

unnecessary airbag injuries without

reducing the overall safety of the vehicle

is to make sure all occupants are properly

restrained in the vehicle, especially in the

front seat. This provides the protection of

safety belts and permits the airbags to

provide the additional protection they were

designed to provide. If you choose to

deactivate your airbag, you are losing the

very significant risk reducing benefits of

the airbag and you are also reducing the

effectiveness of the safety belts, because

safety belts in modern vehicles are

designed to work as a safety system with

the airbags.
