Supplementary Restraints System
FRONT PASSENGER SENSING
SYSTEM
WARNINGS
Sitting improperly, out of position or
with the seatback reclined too far
can take weight off the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger
sensing system, resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a crash. Always sit
upright against your seat back, with your
feet on the floor.
Any alteration or modification to the
front passenger seat may affect the
performance of the front passenger
sensing system. This could seriously
increase the risk of injury or death.
This system works with sensors that are
part of the front passenger seat and
seatbelt to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine
if the front passenger frontal airbag should
be enabled (may inflate) or not.
E179527
The front passenger sensing system uses
a passenger airbag off indicator which
illuminates and stays lit to remind you that
the front passenger frontal airbag is
disabled.
The indicator lamp is on the overhead
console.

Note: When you first switch the ignition on,
the indicator lamp illuminates for a short
period of time to confirm it is functional.
The front passenger sensing system is
designed to disable (will not inflate) the
front passenger frontal airbag when it
detects a rear facing infant seat, a
forward-facing child restraint, or a booster
seat. The sensor turns off the passenger
front airbag and side airbag when the
passenger seat is empty.
•
When the front passenger sensing
system disables (will not inflate) the
front passenger frontal airbag, the
indicator lamp illuminates and stays lit
to remind you that the front passenger
frontal airbag is disabled.
•
If the child restraint is installed and the
indicator lamp is not lit, 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 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 lamp will be unlit and stay
unlit.
