SWITCHES ROLL SENSING OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAGS OFF SWITCH 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. 12x600 For details, see "Seat belt pretensioners" on page 129 or "SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags" on page 143. CAUTION D Make sure the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off indicator light is not on. The roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch can turn off the curtain shield airbags and front seat belt pretensioners 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. D When the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch is turned on (and the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off indicator light is on), the curtain shield airbags and front seat belt pretensioners will not inflate in a vehicle rollover. Turning off the curtain shield airbags can reduce the occupant protection which your vehicle safety systems can provide to you in certain accidents and increase the likelihood of death or serious injuries. 45
