HONDA 2010 Odyssey - Manual (Page 34)

When the passenger airbag gets
turned off by the weight sensors, a
‘‘passenger airbag off’’ indicator in
the center of the dashboard comes
on (see page
).
Be aware that objects placed on the
passenger’s seat can also cause the
airbag to be turned off.
If you ever have a moderate to
severe side impact, sensors will
detect rapid acceleration and signal
the control unit to instantly inflate
either the driver’s or the passenger’s
side airbag and activate the seat belt
tensioner on the affected side.
Also, make sure the floor mat behind
the front passenger’s seat is properly
positioned on the floor (see page
). If it is not, the mat may
interfere with the proper operation
of the front passenger’s seat and its
sensors.
Second-row passengers should not
wedge objects or intentionally
force their feet under the front
passenger seat.
Hanging heavy items on the front
passenger seat, or placing heavy
items in the seat-back pocket.
Moving the front seat forcibly
back against cargo on the seat, the
floor behind it, or a folded second
row seat.
A second row passenger pushing
or pulling on the back of the front
passenger’s seat.

advanced front airbag system will
work properly,
This includes:
If the weight sensors detect there is
no passenger in the front seat, the
airbag is automatically turned off.
However, the passenger airbag off
indicator in this situation will not
