75 indicator lamp will illumi-
nate when the engine is started and remain
illuminated, indicating that the passenger
front air bag is deactivated.
When the OCS senses that the passenger
seat occupant is classified as being heavier
than the weight of a typical 12-month-old
child seated in a standard child restraint or
as being a small individual (such as a young
teenager or a small adult), the
75 indicator lamp will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds when the
engine is started and then, depending on
occupant weight sensor readings from the
seat, remain illuminated or go out. With the
75 indicator lamp illuminated,
the passenger front air bag is deactivated.
With the 75 indicator lamp
out, the passenger front air bag is acti-
vated.
When the OCS senses that the passenger
seat occupant is classified as an adult or
someone larger than a small individual, the
75 indicator lamp will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds when the
engine is started and then go out, indicating
that the passenger front air bag is acti-
vated.
If the 75 indicator lamp is illu-
minated, the passenger front air bag is
deactivated and will not be deployed.
If the 75 indicator lamp is not
illuminated, the passenger front air bag is
activated and will be deployed:
R
in the event of certain frontal impacts
R
if impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
R
independently of the head-thorax air bag
If the passenger front air bag is deployed,
the rate of inflation will be influenced by:
R
the rate of relevant vehicle deceleration
as assessed by the air bag control unit
R
the passenger’s weight category as iden-
tified by the OCS.

Warning!
Children 12 years old and under must be
seated and properly secured in an appro-
priate infant restraint, toddler restraint, or
booster seat recommended for the size and
weight of the child.
The infant or child restraint must be prop-
erly secured with the vehicle’s seat belt
fully in accordance with the child seat man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
Occupants, especially children, should
always sit as upright as possible, wear the
seat belt properly and use an appropriately
sized infant restraint, toddler restraint, or
booster seat recommended for the size and
weight of the child.
Children can be killed or seriously injured
by an inflating air bag. Note the following
important information:
R
Your vehicle is equipped with air bag
technology designed to deactivate the
passenger front air bag in your vehicle
when the system senses the weight of a
typical 12-month-old child or less along
with the weight of a standard appropriate
child restraint on the passenger seat.
R
A child in a rear-facing child restraint on
the passenger seat will be seriously
injured or even killed if the passenger
front air bag inflates in a collision which
could occur under some circumstances,
even with the air bag technology installed
in your vehicle.
