Front Passenger
Airbag Enabled
See Operator’s Manu-
al
Front passenger front air bag is
activated while driving even
though a child, small individual,
or object below the system’s
weight threshold is on the front
passenger seat, or the front pas-
senger seat is empty. Objects
on the seat or forces acting on
the seat may make the system
sense supplemental weight.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible and check the front
passenger seat for the following:
̈ Switch off the ignition (୴ page 82).
̈ Remove child and child restraint from front passenger seat and properly
secure the child in rear seat employing the child restraint if necessary.
̈ Make sure no objects which apply forces to the seat are present (e.g.
objects such as books, briefcases etc. lodged behind or around the
seat, head restraints pushing against roof, etc.). The system may recog-
nize such forces as supplemental weight and sense that an occupant on
the front passenger seat is of a greater weight than actually present.
̈ Keep the seat unoccupied, close the front passenger door and switch
on the ignition (
୴ page 82).
