Warning! Do not leave the key in the front passenger airbag switch. Unintentional deactivation of these airbags is dangerous. In the event of an accident, the front passenger will not be adequately protected. This can result in serious injury or even death of the passenger. To avoid unintentional deactivation of the front passenger airbags, always use the same key to turn the switch and the ignition switch. In this case, never leave the key in the airbag switch.
Fig. 1.146. Disabling airbags using the key
1. Insert the key into the slot of the front passenger airbag switch and turn it clockwise to the "OFF" position (fig. 1.146).
2. Remove the key from the switch.
3. Check that the front passenger airbag deactivation indicator is illuminated when the ignition is on.
The front passenger front and side airbags and the corresponding seat belt pretensioner remain in the off position until the switch is turned back to the "ON" position.
