Indicator light
The passenger airbag system is
equipped with a manual onoff switch
and indicator light. Turning the passen-
ger airbag manual onoff switch clock-
wise to the “ON” position makes the
passenger airbag system operational.
Turning the passenger airbag manual
onoff switch counterclockwise to the
“OFF” position disables the passenger
airbag system. The indicator light on
the passenger airbag manual onoff
switch will come on when the passen-
ger airbag system has been disabled.
See “Passenger airbag manual onoff
switch” on page 45 in this Section for
detail.
CAUTION
Make sure that the indicator light is
off.
Do not turn off the passenger air-
bag manual onoff switch except
when a member of a passenger risk
group identified in TABLE 1 is oc-
cupying the passenger seating posi-
tion.
When the passenger airbag manual
onoff switch is turned off, the pas-
senger airbag will not inflate in a
collision and turning off the pas-
senger airbag can reduce the occu-
pant protection which your vehicle
safety systems can provide to you
in certain accidents and increase
the likelihood of serious personal
injuries.
