Seats and Restraints

If the Off Indicator Is Lit for an
Adult-Sized Occupant

If a person of adult size is sitting in
the front outboard passenger seat,
but the OFF indicator is lit, it could
be because that person is not sitting
properly in the seat or that the child
restraint locking feature is engaged.
Use the following steps to allow the
system to detect that person and
enable the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag:

1. Turn the vehicle off.

2. Remove any additional material

from the seat, such as
blankets, cushions, seat
covers, seat heaters, or seat
massagers.

3. Place the seatback in the fully

upright position.

4. Have the person sit upright in

the seat, centered on the seat
cushion, with legs comfortably
extended.

5. If the shoulder portion of the

belt is pulled out all the way,
the child restraint locking
feature will be engaged. This
may unintentionally cause the
passenger sensing system to
turn the airbag off for some
adult-sized occupants. If this
happens, unbuckle the belt, let
the belt go back all the way,
and then buckle the belt again
without pulling the belt out all
the way.

6. Restart the vehicle and have

the person remain in this
position for two to three minutes
after the ON indicator is lit.

Warning

If the front outboard passenger
airbag is turned off for an
adult-sized occupant, the airbag
will not be able to inflate and help
protect that person in a crash,
resulting in an increased risk of
serious injury or even death. An
adult-sized occupant should not
ride in the front outboard
passenger seat, if the passenger
airbag OFF indicator is lit.

Additional Factors Affecting
System Operation

Seat belts help keep the passenger
in position on the seat during
vehicle maneuvers and braking,
which helps the passenger sensing
system maintain the passenger
airbag status. See

Seat Belts

and

Child Restraints

in the Index for

additional information about the
importance of proper restraint use.
