Main Menu Table Of Contents Additional Information About Your Airbags If the side airbag off indicator comes on (see page 32 ), have the passenger sit upright. Once the passenger is out of the airbag's deployment path, the system will turn the airbag back on, and the indicator will go out. There will be some delay between the moment the passenger moves into or out of the airbag deployment path and when the indicator comes on or goes off. SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG How Your Side Curtain Airbags Work If the impact is on the passenger's side, the passenger's side curtain airbag will inflate even if there are no occupants on that side of the vehicle. To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts and sit upright and well back in their seats. Driver and Passenger Safety A front seat passenger should not use a cushion or other object as a backrest. It may prevent the cutoff system from working properly. In a moderate to severe side impact, sensors will detect rapid acceleration and signal the control unit to instantly inflate the side curtain airbag and activate the seat belt tensioner on the driver's or the passenger's side of the vehicle. 2008 TSX 31
