If you were using a child restraint in a vehicle
equipped with a right front passenger’s airbag, turn
on the right front passenger’s airbag when you
remove the child restraint from the vehicle unless
the person who will be sitting there is a member
of a passenger airbag risk group. See Airbag
Off Switch on page 76.
{CAUTION:
If the right front passenger’s airbag is
turned off for a person who is not in
a risk group identified by the national
government, that person will not have the
extra protection of an airbag. In a crash,
the airbag will not be able to inflate and
help protect the person sitting there. Do
not turn off the passenger’s airbag unless
the person sitting there is in a risk group.
See Airbag Off Switch on page 76 for
more on this, including important safety
information.
Airbag System
If it says AIR BAG on the middle part of the
steering wheel and AIR BAG on the instrument
panel in front of the right front passenger’s
seat, your vehicle has an airbag for the driver
and an airbag for the right front passenger.
If it says AIR BAG on the middle part of the
steering wheel, but it does not say AIR BAG on
the instrument panel in front of the right front
passenger’s seat, your vehicle has an airbag
for the driver only.
If it says AIR BAG on the middle part of the
steering wheel, but there is no right front
passenger seat, your vehicle has an airbag
for the driver only.
If it does not say AIR BAG on the middle part of
the steering wheel, your vehicle does not have
airbags.
Frontal airbags are designed to help reduce the
risk of injury from the force of an inflating
airbag. But these airbags must inflate very quickly
to do their job and comply with federal regulations.
