Always be  sure that  you and  all vehicle
occupants   are  seated   and  restrained
properly (sitting  upright  with the  seat in
an upright position, centered on  the seat
cushion, with  the person’s legs  comfort-
ably  extended,   feet  on  the   floor,  and
wearing the  safety belt  properly) for  the
most effective  protection  by the  air bag
and the safety belt.
A  detection device  located  within the
front passenger seat cushion.
Electronic
system
to
determine
whether  passenger  air  bag   systems
(both front and side) should be activat-
ed or deactivated.
A warning  light  located on  the instru-
ment   panel   which    illuminates   the
words  “PASSENGER AIR  BAG  OFF”
indicating the  front passenger  air bag
system is deactivated.
The instrument  panel air  bag warning
light  is interconnected  with  the occu-
pant classification system.
The OCS  may not  function properly if
the passenger takes actions which can
defeat  the   detection  system.   These

senger  seat  or if  the  passenger  in  the

When this indicator  is ON, the front  pas-
senger's air bag will not deploy.
The side air bag will not deploy if the front
seat is unoccupied.
The side  air bag  may deploy if  the front
seat is occupied by a small occupant.
