and is designed to disable (will not inflate) the front passenger’s frontal
airbag under certain conditions.

The front passenger sensing system works with sensors that are part of
the front passenger’s seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to
detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the
front passenger’s frontal airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or
disabled (will not inflate).

The front passenger sensing system will disable (will not inflate) the
front passenger’s frontal airbag if:

the front passenger seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in
the front seat,

the system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant
seat that is installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions,

the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing
child restraint that is installed according to the manufacturer’s
instructions,

the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat,

a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of
time,

Note:

When the passenger airbag off light is illuminated, the passenger

(seat mounted) side airbag may be disabled to avoid the risk of airbag
deployment injuries.

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 in the center stack of the instrument panel just above the air
vents.

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.
