Inflatable Restraint I/P Module Disable Switch

The instrument panel (I/P) module disable switch is a manual 2-position key switch located inside the vehicle. The I/P module disable switch allows the vehicle operator the ability to enable or disable the I/P module (passenger frontal air bag). The vehicle operator must disable the I/P module if a rear-facing child seat is installed in the front passenger seat. The I/P module disable switch interfaces with the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) to request the enabling or disabling of the I/P module. The occupants are notified of the enabling or disabling of the I/P module via the I/P module disable switch ON/OFF indicator located in the I/P module disable switch.
