Seats and Restraints

45

The passenger sensing system is designed to
turn off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag (if
equipped) if:

.

The front outboard passenger seat is
unoccupied.

.

The system determines that an infant is
present in a rear-facing infant seat.

.

The system determines that a small child
is present in a child restraint.

.

The system determines that a small child
is present in a booster seat.

.

A front outboard passenger takes his/her
weight off of the seat for a period
of time.

.

A front outboard passenger seat is
occupied by a smaller person, such as a
child who has outgrown child restraints.

.

There is a critical problem with the airbag
system or the passenger sensing system.

When the passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag (if equipped),
the OFF indicator will light and stay lit as a
reminder that the airbags are off. See

.

The passenger sensing system is designed to
turn on the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag (if equipped)
anytime the system senses that a person of
adult size is sitting properly in the front
outboard passenger seat. When the
passenger sensing system has allowed the
airbags to be enabled, the ON indicator will
light and stay lit as a reminder that the
airbags are active.

For some children who have outgrown child
restraints and for very small adults, the
passenger sensing system may or may not
turn off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag (if equipped),
depending upon the person's seating posture
and body build. Everyone in the vehicle who
has outgrown child restraints should wear a
seat belt properly

whether or not there is

an airbag for that person.

Warning

If the airbag readiness light ever comes
on and stays on, it means that
something may be wrong with the airbag
system. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have the vehicle serviced right
