The <PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF> and <PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON> indicator lampsmustlight up si-
multaneously forapproximately six seconds.
The indicator lampsdisplay the status of the
front-passengerfront air bag:
•
<PASSENGER AIR BAG ON> lights up: the front-pas-

accident, alldeployment criteria are met, the front-
passenger front air bag is deployed.
•

senger front air bag is disabled. It will then not be
deployedinthe event of an accident.
If the status of the front-passenger front air bag
changes while the vehicle is in motion, an air
