The front passenger sensing system
uses a

passenger airbag off

or

pass airbag off

indicator which will

illuminate and stay lit to remind you
that the front passenger frontal airbag is disabled. The indicator lamp is
located above the glove box on the instrument panel.

Note

: The indicator lamp will illuminate for a short period of time when

the ignition is turned to the ON position to confirm it is functional.

When the front passenger seat is not occupied (empty seat) or in the
event that the front passenger frontal airbag is enabled (may inflate), the
indicator lamp will be unlit.

The front passenger sensing system is designed to disable (will not
inflate) the front passenger’s frontal airbag when a rear facing infant
seat, a forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is detected.

When the front passenger sensing system disables (will not inflate)
the front passenger frontal airbag, the indicator lamp will illuminate
and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal airbag is
disabled.

If the child restraint has been installed and the indicator lamp is not
lit, then turn the vehicle off, remove the child restraint from the
vehicle and reinstall the restraint following the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions.

The front passenger sensing system is designed to enable (may inflate)
the front passenger’s frontal airbag anytime the system senses that a
person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger seat.

When the front passenger sensing system enables the front passenger
frontal airbag (may inflate), the indicator will be unlit and stay unlit.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger’s seat, but the

passenger airbag off

or

pass airbag off

indicator lamp is lit, it is

possible that the person isn’t sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:

Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seatback in the
full upright position.

Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion,
with the person’s legs comfortably extended.

Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for
about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person
and enable the passenger’s frontal airbag.

If the indicator lamp remains lit even after this, the person should be
advised to ride in the rear seat.
