Front passenger’s air bag
Front passenger’s air bag is stored in the
instrument panel on the glove box.
Never put any objects or ornaments on
the instrument panel.
Occupant classification system
The occupant classification system
detects the presence of a passenger in
the front passenger’s seat and will turn
off the front passenger’s air bag under
certain conditions.
The occupant classification system is
designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine
if the front passenger’s air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
WARNING - Steering
wheel
• You must always sit as far back
from the steering wheel air bag as
possible (chest at least 250 mm
(10 inches) away from the steer-
ing wheel), while still maintaining
a comfortable seating position for
good vehicle control, in order to
reduce the risk of injury or death
in a collision.
• Never place objects over the air
bag storage compartments or
between the air bags and your-
self.Due to the speed and force of
the air bag inflation, such objects
could hit your body at high speed
and cause severe bodily injury
and even death.
• Do not put stickers or ornaments
on the steering wheel cover.
These may interfere with the
deployment of the air bag.
