uuAirbags uSide Airbags
48
Safe DrivingTo reduce the likelihood that a passenger may be injured by an inflating side airbag,
the passenger side airbag is automatically turned off when:
• The height sensors detect a child or short- statured adult is seated in the passenger
seat.
• The position sensor detects that the passenger is leaning into the deployment
path of the side airbag.
When the side airbag cutoff system is acti vated, the side airbag off indicator comes
on.
2 Side Airbag Off Indicator P. 52
If the side airbag off indicator comes on, have the passenger sit upright. A few
seconds after the passenger is sitting properly, the side airbag will automatically be
turned on, and the indicator will go off.
If the passenger is a child, the indicator will remain on so long as the child is seated.
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, we recommend that you do not carry
any child who is not large enough and mature enough to ride in front.
