Indicator light
This on- off switch is designed to dis-
able the passenger airbag in order to
allow usage, if necessary, of a member
of a passenger risk group identified in
TABLE 1 (on page 36) is occupying the
passenger seating position (For details,
see “SRS driver and passenger air-
bags”in this Section.)
Operate on- off switch as follows:
Insert key into the keyhole and turn it in
the glove box.
To turn passenger airbag on: Turn the key
clockwise to the “ON” position.
To turn passenger airbag off: Turn the key
counterclockwise to the “OFF” position.
The indicator comes on when the passen-
ger airbag system is off.
To check the airbag cut- off system status,
turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion. The “AIRBAG” warning light and the
“OFF” indicator light should go on for
approximately 4 seconds. If the airbag
switch is turned off, the “OFF” indicator
will continue to illuminate, and if the air-
bag switch is turned on, the “OFF” indica-
tor will not illuminate.
CAUTION
! Make sure that the indicator light is
off.
! Do not turn off the passenger air-
bag manual on- off switch except
when a member of a passenger risk
group identified in TABLE 1 (page
36) is occupying the passenger
seating position.
! When the passenger airbag manual
on- off switch is turned off, the pas-
senger airbag will not inflate in a
collision and turning off the pas-
senger airbag can reduce the occu-
pant protection which your vehicle
safety systems can provide to you
in certain accidents and increase
the likelihood of serious personal
injuries.

senger airbags” in this Section.
