accident, the system may:

should not be deployed, the “PASSENGER

Seat Belt Retractor Locks

QUICK TIP
REMINDER: For maximum protection, always
wear your Seat Belt.
REMINDER: Do not allow an adult passenger to ride in the front seat when the Passenger
Airbag Indicator is illuminated OFF because the airbag will not deploy in the event of a crash.
The driver must instruct the passenger to reposition her/himself in the seat.
