Important Facts About Your Airbags
Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far back from the
steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A\
front
passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as possi\
ble.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp\
object in
your mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers.
objects on the covers
marked SRS AIRBAG could interfere with the proper operation of the airbags or be
propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags inflate.
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags. They can interfere with the
proper operation of the airbags, or hurt someone if an airbag inflates\
.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars. They can interfere
with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers. This can prevent your side
airbags from properly deploying during a side impact Passenger Airbag Off indicator
The indicator comes on to alert you that the front
passenger’s front airbag has been turned off. This
occurs when the front passenger’s weight sensors
detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an infant
or small child, on the seat.
Infants and small children should always ride
properly restrained in a back seat.
If the front passenger‘s seat is empty, the passenger’s front airbag will not deploy
and the indicator will come on.
To ensure the passenger is detected properly, check that:
•  There is no child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the \
seat-back.
•  There is no rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front
passenger’s seat.
•  The front seat or seat-back is not forced back against an object on the \
seat or
floor behind it.
•  There is no object placed under or beside the front passenger’s seat.
•  The occupant is sitting in an upright position and the seat back is not \
excessively reclined.
•  The occupant is not leaning against the door or center console.
•  The occupant’s feet are placed on the floor in front of them.
•  There are no objects hanging from the front passenger’s seat.
• 
only small, lightweight objects are in the seat-back pocket.
The passenger airbag off indicator may come on and go off periodically i\
f the total
weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if:
•  None of the above conditions exist, and the indicator comes on with an a\
dult
riding there.
•  The seat is empty and the indicator is off.
Do not allow an adult passenger to ride in the front seat when the indic\
ator is on.
Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SrS indicator comes on and a
message appears on the Driver Information Interface*.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicator
If the indicator comes on at any other time besides
vehicle start-up, or does not come on at all, have the
system checked by a dealer as soon as possible. If
you don’t, your airbags and seat belt tensioners may
not work properly when they are needed. An open glove box can cause serious injury to your passenger in a crash,\

even if the passenger is wearing the seat belt.
Always keep the glove box closed while driving.
WARNING
*if equipped
*
Ignoring the SrS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the airbag
systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SrS
indicator alerts you to a possible problem.
