The passenger front air bag is activated
while driving even though a child, small
individual, or object below the system’s
weight threshold is on the passenger seat,
or the passenger seat is empty. Objects
on the seat or forces acting on the seat
may make the system sense supplemen-
tal weight. X Stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as
possible.
X Engage the parking brake.
X Switch off the ignition.

door and switch on the ignition.
