Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag) ON / / : Front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator : Front passenger’s frontal airbag OFF indicator Also, if luggage or electronic devices are placed on the front passenger’s seat, this may adversely affect the ability of the system to determine deployment. This may prevent the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators from work- ing properly. Check that the indicators work properly. When the OFF indicator turns off and the ON indicator illuminates, the front passen- ger’s frontal airbag may deploy during a collision. Remove luggage and electronic devices from the front passenger’s seat. ! Conditions in which front passen- ger’s SRS frontal airbag is not activated S01AH0204 The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag will not be activated when any of the following conditions are met regarding the front passenger’s seat: . The seat is empty. . The seat is equipped with an appro- priate child restraint system and an infant or a child is restrained in it. (See WARN- ING that follows.) . The front passenger’s occupant detec- tion system is malfunctioning. WARNING NEVER INSTALL A CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSENGER’S SRS FRON- TAL AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. Be sure to install it in the REAR seat in a correct manner. Also, it is strongly recommended that any forward fa- cing child seat or booster seat be installed in the REAR seat, and that even children who have outgrown a child restraint system be also seated in the REAR seat. This is because children sitting in the front passen- ger’s seat may be killed or severely injured should the front passenger’s 1-53 SRS frontal airbag deploy. REAR seats are the safest place for chil- dren. CAUTION When the front passenger’s seat is occupied by an infant in an appro- priate child restraint system, ob- serve the following precautions. Failure to do so may interfere with the proper operation of the occupant detection system, activating the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag even though that seat is occupied by the infant in the child restraint system. . Do not place any article (includ- ing electronic devices) on the seat other than the infant in the child restraint system. . Do not place more than one infant in the child restraint system. – CONTINUED –
