Air Bag Deactivation Switch: Description and Operation

The vehicle is equipped with a passenger air bag deactivation switch which can be operated by the customer. When the switch is turned to the ON position, the passenger air bag is enabled and could inflate in a frontal collision. When the switch is turned to the OFF position, the passenger air bag is disabled and will not inflate in a frontal collision.

After turning the ignition switch ON, a passenger air bag deactivation switch indicator illuminates on the instrument panel for bulb check. The indicator will stay lit if the passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the OFF position. If the passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the ON position, the indicator will turn off after about 7 seconds.

IGN OFF -> ON:

After SRS maintenance or repair, make sure the passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the same position (ON or OFF) as when the vehicle arrived for service.
