Turning the Passenger Airbag Back On
WARNINGS
The seatbelts for the driver and rightfront passenger seating positions arespecifically designed to operatetogether with the airbags in certain typesof crashes. When you switch off yourairbag, you not only lose the protection ofthe airbag, you also may reduce theeffectiveness of your seatbelt system. Ifthe passenger does not meet therequirements stated in the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration orTransport Canada deactivation criteria,switching off the airbag can increase therisk of serious injury or death in a crash.
If your vehicle has rear seats, alwaystransport children who are 12 andyounger in the rear seat. Always useseatbelts and child restraints properly. Donot place a child in a rear facing infant seatin the front seat unless your vehicle isequipped with an airbag on and off switchand the passenger airbag is turned off. Thisis because the back of the infant seat istoo close to the inflating airbag and therisk of a fatal injury to the infant when theairbag inflates is substantial.
If the passenger airbag off light isilluminated when the passengerairbag switch is on and the ignitionis on, have the passenger airbag switchserviced immediately by a qualifiedtechnician.
The passenger airbag remains off until youturn it back on.

1. Insert the ignition key into thepassenger airbag on and off switch andturn the switch to on.
2.The off light will briefly illuminate whenthe ignition is turned on. This indicatesthat the passenger airbag isoperational.
The passenger side airbag should alwaysbe on (the airbag off light should not beilluminated) unless the passenger is aperson who meets the requirements statedeither in Category 1, 2 or 3 of the NationalHighway Traffic SafetyAdministration/Transport Canadadeactivation criteria which follows.
The vast majority of drivers and passengersare much safer with an airbag thanwithout. To do their job and reduce the riskof life threatening injuries, airbags mustopen with great force, and this force canpose a potentially deadly risk in somesituations, particularly when a front seatoccupant is not properly buckled up. Themost effective way to reduce the risk ofunnecessary airbag injuries withoutreducing the overall safety of the vehicleis to make sure all occupants are properlyrestrained in the vehicle, especially in thefront seat. This provides the protection ofseatbelts and permits the airbags toprovide the additional protection they weredesigned to provide. If you choose todeactivate your airbag, you are losing the
very significant risk reducing benefits ofthe airbag and you are also reducing theeffectiveness of the seatbelts, becauseseatbelts in modern vehicles are designedto work as a safety system with theairbags.
National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration Deactivation Criteria(Excluding Canada)
WARNING
This vehicle has special energymanagement seatbelts for the driverand right front passenger. Theseparticular seatbelts are specificallydesigned to work with airbags to helpreduce the risk of injury in a crash. Theenergy management seatbelt gives orreleases additional seatbelt webbing insome accidents to reduce theconcentration of force on an occupant'schest and to reduce the risk of certain bonefractures and injuries to underlying organs.In a crash, if the airbag is off, this energymanagement seatbelt might permit thepassenger wearing the seatbelt to moveforward enough to have a serious or fatalinjury. The more severe the crash, and theheavier the occupant, the greater the risk.Make sure the airbag is on for anypassenger who does not qualify under theNational Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration deactivation criteria.
1.Infant. An infant (less than 1 year old)must ride in the front seat because:
