Passenger airbag automatic cutoff timeline: Other Japanese vehicles (Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Suzuki)

Before viewing this cutoff chart, read this information post

Red - no cutoff (passenger airbag WILL deploy regardless of occupancy)

Blue - cutoff depends on vehicle variant

Yellow - cutoff is included, but does NOT meet FMVSS 208 advanced airbag standards; these cutoffs were typically aimed at reducing repair costs when the passenger seat is empty, and not toward child safety. 

Green - cutoff is included, that DOES meet FMVSS 208 standards

Note that this chart only includes automatic, sensor-based cutoffs, not manual switch-based cutoffs. 

This chart contains miscellaneous Japanese vehicles (Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Suzuki). Mitsubishi owners manuals of this era were unable to be located, so take this chart with a grain of salt for them.
