If your vehicle ever gets into a lot of water

--

such as

water up to the carpeting or higher

--

or if water enters

your vehicle and soaks the carpet, the air bag controller
can be soaked and ruined. If this ever happens, and then
you start your vehicle, the damage could make the air
bags inflate, even if there’s no crash. You would have to
replace the air bags as well as the sensors and related
parts. If your vehicle is ever in a flood, or if it’s exposed
to water that soaks the carpet, you can avoid needless
repair costs by turning off the vehicle immediately and
disconnecting the battery cables. Don’t let anyone start
the vehicle under any circumstances. See your dealer
for service.

AIR BAG OFF Switch

Your vehicle has a switch on the instrument panel
that you can use to turn off the right front passenger’s
air bag.
