2. When you switch the ignition on andthe passenger airbag switch is in theoff position, the off light illuminatesbriefly, momentarily shuts off and thenturns back on. This indicates that thepassenger airbag is deactivated.
Switching the Passenger Airbag BackOn
WARNING: The seatbelts for thedriver and right front passenger seatingpositions are specifically designed tooperate together with the airbags incertain types of crashes. When youswitch off your airbag, you not only losethe protection of the airbag, you alsomay reduce the effectiveness of yourseatbelt system. If the passenger doesnot meet the requirements stated in theNational Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration or Transport Canadadeactivation criteria, switching off theairbag can increase the risk of seriousinjury or death in a crash.
WARNING: If your vehicle has rearseats, always transport children who are12 and younger in the rear seat. Alwaysuse seatbelts and child restraintsproperly. Do not place a child in a rearfacing infant seat in the front seat unlessyour vehicle is equipped with an airbagon and off switch and the passengerairbag is turned off. This is because theback of the infant seat is too close to theinflating airbag and the risk of a fatalinjury to the infant when the airbaginflates is substantial.

The restraints control module alsomonitors the readiness of the above safetydevices plus the crash sensors. Thereadiness of the safety system is indicatedby a warning indicator light in theinstrument cluster or by a backup tone ifthe warning light is not working. SeeInstrument Cluster (page 53). Routinemaintenance of the airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated byone or more of the following:
The readiness light will notilluminate immediately after theignition is turned on.
•The readiness light will either flash orstay lit.
•A series of five beeps will be heard. Thetone pattern will repeat periodicallyuntil the problem, the light or both arerepaired.
If any of these things happen, evenintermittently, have the supplementalrestraint system serviced at an authorizeddealer immediately. Unless serviced, thesystem may not function properly in theevent of a crash.
The safety belt pretensioners and theairbag supplemental restraint system aredesigned to activate when the vehiclesustains frontal deceleration sufficient tocause the restraints control module todeploy a safety device.
The fact that the safety belt pretensionersor airbags did not activate in a crash doesnot mean that something is wrong with thesystem. Rather, it means the restraintscontrol module determined the accidentconditions (such as crash severity, beltusage) were not appropriate to activatethese safety devices.
•The design of the front airbags is toactivate only in frontal and near-frontalcrashes (not rollovers, side impacts orrear impacts) unless the crash causessufficient frontal deceleration.
•The design of the safety beltpretensioners is to activate in frontalor near-frontal crashes and may deployin rollovers if the vehicle is equippedwith roll stability control.
AIRBAG DISPOSAL
Contact your authorized dealer as soon aspossible. Airbags must be disposed of byqualified personnel.
