ing lamp will come on and a tone will sound for about 6 sec-
onds. If the front seat belt remains unfastened approximately
1 minute later, the warning lamp will flash and the tone sound

tone will issue further warnings each time the vehicle starts
moving from a stop. When the seat belt is fastened, the warn-
ings will stop. NOTE●When luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, a sen-
sor in the seat cushion may, depending on the weight and

bag ON-OFF switch, and turn that air bag ON-OFF switch
to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the key from the key opening of that air bag
ON-OFF switch.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch, and turn the igni-
tion to “ON” position.
That air bag off indication lamp, with the word “OFF”

deploy. (Refer to “Front passenger’s air bag off indication
lamp” on page 2-62.)
WARNING
!●To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always remove the key from the ignition switch
before operating an air bag ON-OFF switch. Fail-
ure to do so could adversely affect the air bag per-
formance.

ON-OFF switch after turning the ignition switch
from “ON” position to “LOCK” position.
The air bag SRS system is designed to retain
enough voltage to deploy the air bag.
• Always remove the key from an air bag ON-OFF
switch after operating that switch. Failure to do so
could lead to improper position of the air bag
ON-OFF switch.

There is a supplemental restraint system (“SRS”) warning lamp
on the instrument panel. The system checks itself and the lamp
tells you if there is a problem. When the ignition key is turned

and stays on.

●Driver’s air bag
●Front passenger’s air bag
●Side air bags
●Curtain air bags
●Seat belt pre-tensioners
●Driver’s seat position sensor
●Front passenger’s air bag ON-OFF switch

you start the vehicle.

eral seconds.
