Medical Condition.A passenger has a
medical condition which, according to his or
her physician:

Causes the passenger airbag to pose a special risk
for the passenger; and

If the right front passenger’s airbag is turned off
for a person who is not in a risk group identied

have the extra protection of an airbag. In a crash,

protect the person sitting there. Do not turn off the
passenger’s airbag unless the person sitting there
is in a risk group.To turn off the right front passenger airbag, insert the
ignition key into the switch, push in, and move the switch
to the off position.
The word OFF or the off symbol will come on in the
passenger airbag status indicator located in the
overhead console to let you know that the right front
passenger airbag is off, after the system check is
completed. The airbag off light will come on and stay on
to let you know that the right front passenger’s airbag
is off. SeeAirbag Off Light on page 3-38. United States
