Safety features of your vehicle
When an adult is seated in the front pas-
senger seat, if the PASSENGER “AIR
BAG OFF” indicator is on, turn the igni-
tion switch to the LOCK position and ask
the passenger to sit properly (sitting
upright with the seat back in an upright
position, centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor).
Restart the engine and have the person
remain in that position. This will allow the
system to detect the person and to
enable the passenger air bag.
If the PASSENGER “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator is still on, ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The PASSENGER “AIR BAG OFF”
indicator illuminates for about 4 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position or after the engine is
started. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, the occupant detection sensor
will then classify the front passenger
after several more seconds.

WARNING
Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front seat when the PAS-
SENGER “AIR BAG OFF” indicator
is illuminated because the air bag
will not deploy in the event of a
crash. If the PASSENGER “AIR BAG
OFF” indicator remains illuminated
after the adult passenger reposi-
tions themselves properly and the
car is restarted, it is recommended
that passenger move to the rear
seat because the passenger's front
air bag will not deploy.
Front seat passengers must stay
properly seated to avoid serious
injury from a deploying air bag.
WARNING
Do not put a heavy load on the front
passenger seat. Do not place any
items under the front passenger
seat. Any of these could interfere
with proper sensor operation.
