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 38) is occupying the
passenger seating position (For details,
see “SRS driver and passenger airbags”
on page 36 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 (on
page 38) is occupying the passen-
ger 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.
For details, see “SRS driver and
passenger airbags” on page 36 in this
section.
