Front passenger airbag
enabled
See Operator’s Manual
Front passenger front air bag
is activated while driving even
though a child, small
individual, or object below
the system’s weight thresh-
old is on the front passenger
seat, or the front passenger
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:
̈ Apply the parking brake (୴ page 65).
̈ Switch off the ignition (୴ page 40).
̈ Remove child and child restraint from front passenger seat and properly
secure the child in rear seat employing the child restraint if necessary.
̈ Remove any other items from on and around the front passenger seat
and make sure the storage bag on the back of the front passenger seat
is empty.
̈ Make sure that 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 40).
