Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch

PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF SWITCH
The passenger side airbag ON/OFF switch is located on the instrument panel. To de-activate the passenger side airbag, turn the key actuator switch from the horizontal position to a slanted position (pointing to the "OFF" light indicator), approximately 45 degrees clockwise from the "ON" position. Rotating the key actuator switch 45 degrees clockwise, remove the key completely from the switch and verify that the switch actuator hole stays in the new position (45 degrees clockwise from horizontal). The switch is spring loaded to the "ON" position. It will return to the "ON" position unless you remove the key. When the IGNITION in ON, this procedure will illuminate the "OFF" light indicator on the passenger airbag ON/OFF switch.

To re-enable the passenger side airbag, reverse the procedure above so that the key switch actuator is returned to a horizontal position.

NOTE: DO NOT TURN IGNITION ON WITH KEY IN SWITCH. DO NOT TURN SWITCH WITH IGNITION ON. DO NOT LEAVE KEY IN SWITCH.

THE KEY MUST ALWAYS BE REMOVED FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF SWITCH KEY CYLINDER AFTER THE SWITCH HAS BEEN USED. NEVER LEAVE A KEY IN THE ON/OFF KEY CYLINDER.

The ON/OFF switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the ON/OFF switch must be replaced.
