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:
̈ Apply the parking brake.
̈ Switch off the ignition ( ୴ page 38).
̈ Have the front passenger vacate the seat and exit the vehicle.
̈ Adjust the seat in a height position ( ୴ page 43).
̈ Make sure that no objects which apply forces to the seat are present
(e.g. objects such as books, briefcases etc. lodged underneath, be-
hind or around the seat). Such forces may cause the system 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).
