AIRBAG SYSTEM


  1. FUNCTION


    1. The airbag cut off switch cylinder sub-assembly can be used if deployment of the instrument panel passenger airbag without door assembly is undesirable.

    2. The airbag cut off switch cylinder sub-assembly can be operated by the mechanical key, which is supplied with the key. Once the airbag cut off switch cylinder sub-assembly is turned to OFF, the instrument panel passenger airbag without door assembly will be disabled, regardless of any collision that may occur.

    3. If the instrument panel passenger airbag without door assembly has been disabled, the AIRBAG OFF indicator light in the air conditioning control assembly illuminates to inform the driver.
