SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTag SYSTEM ( supplemental air b system ) This Supplemental Restraint System section contains important information concerning the driver and passenger supplemental air bags . The Supplemental Restraint System Air Bag can help reduce impact force to the driver and to the front passenger in certain frontal collisions . The supplemental air bags are designed to supplement the crash pro - tection provided by the driver and front pas - senger seat belts and are not a substitute for them .

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG SYSTEM The supplemental air bag system is designed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions , although it may inflate if the forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity frontal impact . It may not inflate in certain frontal collisions . Vehicle damage ( or lack of it ) is not always an indication of proper supplemental air bag operation . The front passenger supplemental air bag is equipped with an ON / OFF switch . Because no rear seat exists where a rear facing child restraint can be secured , the switch is de - signed to turn OFF the passenger supple - mental air bag so that a rear facing child restraint can be used in the front passenger seat . See ‘ ‘ Passenger supplemental air bag ON / OFF switch and light ’ ’ later in this section for details . When the supplemental air bag inflates , a fairly loud noise may be heard , followed by the release of smoke .

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 ARS1117 unless special government criteria exist . 1 - 12 Seats , restraints and supplemental air bag systems Z X
