OFF,
this energy management seat
belt might permit the person wear-
ing
the
belt to move forward enough
to incur a serious or fatal injury.
The more
severe the crash, and the
heavier the occupant, the greater
the risk is. Be sure the air bag is
turned
ON for any person who does
not
qualify under the NHTSA
deac
-
tivation criteria.
NOTE
If
the yellow peel-of
f label is still on
the
switch, pull
the tab to remove it,
and discard it.
t To deactivate the passenger

switch to OFF position and hold in
OFF position while removing the
key.
2. When the ignition is turned on, the
OFF light illuminates briefly,
momentarily
shuts of
f and then turns

senger air bag is deactivated.
