Display Display messages Possible cause Possible solution
Front passenger
airbag
deactivated
see Oper.’s Man. 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 following:
̈ Do not lean on armrests or lift yourself
up using handle over the door. This
may make the system sense that an
occupant of a lesser weight than actu-
ally present is on the front passenger
seat.
̈ Re-position yourself.
̈ Sit properly belted in a nearly upright
position with your back against the
seat backrest.
If performing any of the above corrective
steps is successful, the message
Front
passenger airbag activated see
Oper.’s Man.
will appear in the
multifunction display, confirming the situ-
ation has been remedied.
