RSAC Light

So did some off trails rides Saturday and figured I'd turn the RSAC off just in case. I hit the switch and no light came on the dash or switch to indicate it was disactivated. I'm I missing something or is it not working? If not working any place I should look first?

 

I think you have to hold it in for a few seconds to make it deactivate.

 

I'll try that tomorrow and see if that works. Thanks

 

From page 87 and 95 of the 2008 manual

----------

Make sure the RSCA OFF" indicator light is off. The curtain shield airbags will not inflate in a vehicle rollover if this indicator light is on and you may be killed or seriously injured. For details, see Roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch" on page 95 in this Section.

----------

The roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch (RSCA OFF" switch) can turn off the curtain shield airbags and seat belt pretensioners in a vehicle rollover. This switch should only be used if inflation is not desired (such as extreme off−road driving).

When you push the RSCA OFF" switch for a few seconds with the engine switch on, the RSCA OFF" indicator light comes on and the roll sensing function is turned off. When you push the switch again, the indicator light goes off and the roll sensing function is turned on. (For details about the roll sensing function, see SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags" on page 81 in this Section.)

In a severe side impact, the curtain shield airbags on impacted side will inflate even if the roll sensing function is turned off. (For details about the curtain shield airbags, see SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags" on page 81 in this Section.)

In a severe frontal impact, the seat belt pretensioners will work even if the roll sensing function is turned off. (For details about the seat belt pretensioners, see Seat belt pretensioners" on page 71 in this Section.)

If the engine switch is turned to ACC" or LOCK" with the roll sensing function off and then the engine switch is turned back to ON", the roll sensing function will turn back on automatically.

 

Unfortunately I did not get a manual when I purchased the 4runner used.
