Front Passenger
Airbag Disabled
See Operator’s Manual Front passenger front air bag is
deactivated while driving even
though an adult or someone
larger than a small individual is
occupying the front passenger
seat. Forces acting on the seat
may make the system sense a
decrease in weight. Stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible and check the
front passenger seat for the following:
̈ Switch off the ignition ( ୴ page 60).
̈ Have the front passenger vacate the seat and exit the vehicle.
̈ Adjust the seat in a height position ( ୴ page 42).
̈ Make sure that no objects which apply forces to the seat are
present (e.g. objects such as books, briefcases etc. lodged under-
neath, behind or around the seat). Such forces may cause the sys-
tem to sense that an occupant of a lesser weight than actually
present is on the front passenger seat.
̈ Keep the seat unoccupied, close the front passenger door and turn
on the ignition (
୴ page 38).
