Seats and Restraints
Everyone in your vehicle who
has outgrown child restraints
should wear a safety belt
properly, whether or not there
is an air bag for that person.
The passenger air bag is also
turned off if there is a critical
problem with the frontal air bag
system or with the passenger
sensing system.
The "off" indicator will stay on if
the right front passenger's air bag
is deactivated.
When the system senses that a
person of adult size is sitting in the
right front passenger seat, the
front passenger's air bag will be
activated and the "on" indicator
will appear in the passenger
sensing system status bar.

See the following, later in this
section, for more information:
• System Operation with a Child
Restraint
• System Operation with Adult
Passengers
Aftermarket equipment, such as
seat covers, seat heaters and
seat massagers can affect the
performance of the passenger
sensing system. Avoid using
aftermarket equipment if your
vehicle is equipped with this
system.
The "on" indicator light may
illuminate if an object, such as a
briefcase, handbag, or grocery
bag, is put on the front passenger's
seat. Remove the object to turn off
the indicator light.
CAUTION
Keep the area under the
passenger seat or between the
passenger seat cushion and
seatback clear of objects to
allow for the proper operation
of the passenger sensing
system.
CAUTION
If the air bag light stays on or
comes on while you are driving,
there may be a problem with
this system. To avoid injury to
yourself or others, have the
vehicle serviced right away.
See "Air Bag Light" in Section 1
