Possible solution
Front passenger
airbag
deactivated
see Oper.’s Man.
Front passenger front air bag is deactivat-
ed while driving even though an adult or
someone larger than a small individual is
occupying the front passenger seat. Forc-
es acting on the seat may make the sys-
tem 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.
