ment thresholds. You will then be protect-
ed by the fastened seat belts.

ployed if

tain airbags are deployed

ț in impacts exceeding a preset deploy-
ment threshold
ț independently of the front airbags
The front passenger side airbag will only

passenger seat is occupied.

Seat belts
The seat belt nonusage warning lamp
<
in the instrument cluster lights up and a
warning sounds for a short time when you
turn the key in the starter switch to
position 2 and the driver‘s seat belt is not
fastened.
After starting the engine the seat belt non-
usage warning lamp blinks for a brief peri-
od to remind the driver and passengers to
fasten the seat belts.
!
Do not place objects heavier than
20 lbs (9 kg) on the front passenger
seat. This could cause the front or side
impact airbag on the front passenger
side to deploy in a crash which exceeds
the system's deployment threshold.
