Seats and Restraints
When the vehicle is started with a
child restraint installed in the front
passenger seat, the "off" indicator
should appear in the passenger
sensing system status bar after
the system has completed its
self-check.
If a child restraint has been
installed and the Passenger
Sensing System has not
deactivated the air bag, turn the
vehicle off. Remove and then
reinstall the child restraint.
Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.

A thick layer of material (such
as a blanket) or aftermarket equip-
ment (such as seat covers, heaters
or massagers) located between the
seat cushion and the child restraint
or small occupant can affect how
the passenger sensing system
operates. Remove any additional
material from the seat cushion
before reinstalling or securing the
child restraint or small occupant.
If, after you restart the vehicle, the
"on" indicator still appears, turn
the engine off again.
Check that the vehicle's seatback is
not pressing the child restraint into
the seat cushion. If it is, slightly
recline the vehicle's seatback and
adjust the seat cushion if possible.
Also make sure that the child
restraint is not trapped under the
vehicle's head restraint. If this
happens, adjust the head restraint.
Restart the engine.
CAUTION
If the "on" indicator still
appears, secure the restraint in
a rear seat position and have
your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible.
See "Child Restraints" later in this
section.
