To maintain the correct seating
position, especially during vehicle
maneuvers and braking, the
passenger should wear the safety
belt. Be sure the safety belt is
adjusted properly at all times.
See "Safety Belts" earlier in this
section for additional safety
belt instructions and safety
information.
Note:
Engaging the child restraint
locking feature may turn off the
passenger's frontal air bag. If
this happens unintentionally,
let the belt go back in all the
way and start again.
If the passenger sensing system
does not recognize that a person
of adult size is sitting in the seat,
turn the vehicle off.
A thick layer of material (such as a
blanket) or aftermarket equipment
(such as seat covers, heaters or
massagers) can affect how the
passenger sensing system
operates. Remove any additional
material from the seat.
Move the seatback to the upright
position.
Make sure the passenger sits in an
upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with his/her legs
comfortably extended.
Restart the vehicle. This should
allow the system to detect the
person and enable the passenger's
air bag.
It may take about two to three
minutes for the system to detect
the passenger and enable the
passenger's air bag.
Section 2
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF
INDICATOR
When you start the vehicle, the
system will perform a self-check.
The air bag "on" and "off"
indicators will appear briefly in
the passenger sensing system
status bar (located on the
overhead console).
When the system self-check is
complete, one of the indicators
will stay on to indicate whether the
right front passenger's frontal air
bag is on or off.
