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 door control transmitter assembly*2 or the mechanical key, which is supplied with the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly*1. 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 occurs.

      *2: Models without smart entry and start system

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