PASSENGER SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG ON/OFF SWITCH AND LIGHT. WARNING Air bags and seat belts are designed to work as a unit. Do not switch the air bag OFF unless you meet federal government criteria. Switching off the air bag may increase the risk of serious or fatal injuries in a collision where the air bag would have inflated. The passenger air bag ON/OFF switch is located in the center of the instrument panel, near the ashtray. It can be used to turn the passenger supplemental air bag OFF. In rare instances, some passengers are exposed to serious injury risks from inflating air bags, especially if not properly restrained. The U.S. and Canadian federal governments recognize other limited circumstances in which an air bag could reduce safety. The passenger air bag ON/OFF switch is, therefore, allowed in this vehicle. Because the overall benefits of air bags are great, in most situations air bags should not be switched off unless special government criteria exist.

PASSENGER SUPPLEMENTAL
AIR BAG ON/OFF SWITCH AND
LIGHT.
WARNING
Air bags and seat belts are designed to
work as a unit. Do not switch the air bag
OFF unless you meet federal govern-
ment criteria. Switching off the air bag
may increase the risk of serious or fatal
injuries in a collision where the air bag
would have inflated.
The passenger air bag ON/OFF switch is
located in the center of the instrument panel,
near the ashtray. It can be used to turn the
passenger supplemental air bag OFF.
In rare instances, some passengers are ex-
posed to serious injury risks from inflating air
bags, especially if not properly restrained.
The U.S. and Canadian federal governments
recognize
other
limited
circumstances
in
which an air bag could reduce safety. The
passenger air bag ON/OFF switch is, there-
fore, allowed in this vehicle. Because the
overall benefits of air bags are great, in most
situations air bags should not be switched off
unless special government criteria exist.
