To deactivate or reactivate the passenger’s front air bag
To deactivate the passenger’s front air bag, insert the master key into the passenger’s
front air bag ON/OFF switch and turn it to the OFF position. The passenger’s front air bag OFF indicator (
) will illuminate and stay on until the passenger’s front
air bag is reactivated.
To reactivate the passenger’s front air bag, insert the master key into the passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch and turn it to the ON position.
The passenger’s front air bag OFF indicator will go out and
the passenger’s front air bag ON indicator (
) will illuminate and stay on until
the passenger's front air bag is deactivated.
The front air bag ON/OFF switch could turn by using a similar small rigid device. Always check the status of the front air bag ON/OFF switch and passenger's front air bag ON/OFF indicator.
-
The driver is responsible for the proper position of the passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch.
-
Deactivate the passenger's front air bag only when the ignition switch is switched off, or the malfunction may occur in the SRS Control Module.
And there may be a danger that the driver's and/or front passenger’s and/or side and curtain air bag may fail to trigger, or not trigger correctly during a collision.
-
Never install a rearward facing child seat on the front passenger's seat unless the passenger's front air bag has been deactivated.The infant or child could be severely injured or killed by an air bag deployment in case of an accident.
-
Even though your vehicle is equipped with the passenger's front air bag ON/OFF switch, do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger's seat. A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. Children who are too large for child restraint systems should always occupy the rear seat and use the available lap/shoulder belts. Children are afforded the most safety in the event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint system in the rear seat.
-
As soon as the child seat is no longer needed on the front passenger's seat, reactivate the front passenger's air bag.
No attaching objects
No objects (such as crash pad cover, mobile phone holder, cup holder, perfume or stickers) should be placed over or near the air bag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, windscreen glass, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box. Such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the air bags to deploy. Do not place any objects over the air bag or between the air bag and yourself.
