Front passenger air bag and

WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF under some condi-
tions. Read this section carefully to learn
how it operates. Proper use of the seat, seat
belt and child restraints is necessary for
most effective protection. Failure to follow
all instructions in this manual concerning
the use of seats, seat belts and child re-
straints can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.

Front passenger air bag:
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as de-
scribed below in accordance with U.S.
regulations. If the front passenger air bag
is OFF, it will not inflate in a crash. The
driver air bag and other air bags in your
vehicle are not part of this system.
The purpose of the regulation is to help
reduce the risk of injury or death from an
inflating air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by re-
quiring the air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. Certain sensors are used to
meet the requirements.
One sensor used is the occupant classifi-
cation sensor (pressure sensor). It is in
the bottom of the front passenger seat
cushion and is designed to detect an oc-
cupant and objects on the seat by weight.
It works together with seat belt sensors
described later. For example, if a child is
in the front passenger seat, the advanced
air bag system is designed to turn the
passenger air bag OFF in accordance with
the regulations. Also, if a child restraint of
the type specified in the regulations is on
the seat, its weight and the child’s weight
