"Roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch The roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch can turn off the curtain shield airbags in a vehicle rollover. This switch should only be used in a situation where the inflation is not desired (such as during extreme offroad driving). When you push the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch for a few seconds with the ignition switch on, the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off indicator light comes on and the roll sensing function is turned off. When you push the switch again, the indicator light goes off and the roll sensing function is turned on. In a severe side impact, the curtain shield airbag on the impacted side will inflate even if the roll sensing function is turned off. If the ignition switch is turned to "ACC" or "LOCK" with the roll sensing function off and then the ignition switch is turned back to "ON", the roll sensing function will be back on automatically. 138 16x544
