Turning the Passenger Airbag Back On
WARNINGS
The safety belts for the driver andright front passenger seatingpositions have been specificallydesigned to function together with theairbags in certain types of crashes. Whenyou turn off your airbag, you not only losethe protection of the airbag, you also mayreduce the effectiveness of your safety beltsystem, which was designed to work withthe airbag. If you are not a person whomeets the requirements stated in theNational Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration or Transport Canadadeactivation criteria turning off the airbagcan increase the risk of serious injury ordeath in a crash.
If your vehicle has rear seats, alwaystransport children who are 12 andyounger in the rear seat. Always usesafety belts and child restraints properly.Do not place a child in a rear facing infantseat in the front seat unless your vehicle isequipped with an airbag on and off switchand the passenger airbag is turned off. Thisis because the back of the infant seat istoo close to the inflating airbag and therisk of a fatal injury to the infant when theairbag inflates is substantial.
If the pass airbag off light isilluminated when the passengerairbag switch is on and the ignitionis on, have the passenger airbag switchserviced at your authorized dealerimmediately.
The passenger airbag remains off until youturn it back on.
1. Insert the ignition key and turn theswitch to ON.
2. The pass airbag off light will brieflyilluminate when the ignition is turnedto on. This indicates that the passengerairbag is operational.
The passenger side airbag should alwaysbe on (the pass airbag off light should notbe illuminated) unless the passenger is aperson who meets the requirements statedeither in Category 1, 2 or 3 of the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration orTransport Canada deactivation criteriawhich follows.
The vast majority of drivers and passengersare much safer with an airbag thanwithout. To do their job and reduce the riskof life threatening injuries, airbags mustopen with great force, and this force canpose a potentially deadly risk in somesituations, particularly when a front seatoccupant is not properly buckled up. Themost effective way to reduce the risk ofunnecessary airbag injuries withoutreducing the overall safety of the vehicleis to make sure all occupants are properlyrestrained in the vehicle, especially in thefront seat. This provides the protection ofsafety belts and permits the airbags toprovide the additional protection they weredesigned to provide. If you choose todeactivate your airbag, you are losing the
