The front passenger airbag on and off
switch has an indicator that illuminates
and stays lit to remind you that the front
passenger frontal airbag is off. The
indicator lamp is near the center of the
instrument panel.
Note:
The indicator lamp illuminates for a
short period of time when you switch the
ignition on to confirm it is functional.
Turning the Passenger Airbag Off WARNINGS
If the light does not illuminate when
the passenger airbag switch is off
and you switch the ignition on, have
the passenger airbag switch serviced
immediately by a qualified technician. To avoid switching on the airbag,
always remove the ignition key with
the switch in the off position. WARNINGS
If your vehicle has rear seats, always
transport children who are 12 and
younger in the rear seat. Always use
seatbelts 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. The passenger airbag on and off switch is
in the glovebox.
