inflate in a frontal collision. The passenger
supplemental air bag OFF indicator light on the
instrument panel illuminates when the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch is turned to
the OFF position. The driver’s side supplemental
air bag always remains enabled and is not af-
fected by the passenger supplemental air bag
ON/OFF switch.
The passenger supplemental air bag light, dis-
playing OFF in the center of the instrument panel,
monitors the position of the passenger supple-
mental air bag ON/OFF switch. When the igni-
tion key is in the ON or START position, the light
illuminates for about 7 seconds and then turns off
if the air bag ON/OFF switch is in the ON posi-
tion, or stays on if the passenger supplemental air
bag ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.WARNING
cDo not switch the air bag OFF unless
you meet the federal government crite-
ria outlined previously. This vehicle (ex-
cept Crew Cab models) is equipped
with seat belts with a “load limiter” fea-
ture. The seat belts are designed to
work with the air bags to reduce the risk
of injury in a collision. The seat belts are
designed to release additional belt
webbing during some collisions to re-
duce the concentration of force on the
occupant’s chest area. In a collision
with the airbag turned OFF, the seat
belt may allow the occupant enough
forward movement to incur serious or
fatal injuries.cKeep the passenger supplemental air
bag ON/OFF switch turned ON unless arear-facing child restraint must be used
in the front seat, if children ages 1-12
must be placed in the front seat, or if the
passenger has a medical condition,
which, according to a physician, causes
the air bag to pose a special risk of
harm (the federal government criteria) .
If the switch is OFF, the air bag will not
inflate in a collision as designed and
the extra protection provided by the air
bag may be lost.
cBe sure to turn the passenger supple-
mental air bag ON/OFF switch OFF
when using a rear facing child restraint
in the front passenger seat. If it is not
OFF, the air bag may inflate in a colli-
sion. The force of the rapidly inflating
air bag could cause serious injury or kill
the child in the child restraint. Children
ages 1-12 and persons with special
medical conditions may also be at risk
from an inflating air bag.
