and ask the person to place the seatback in the fully
upright position, then sit upright in the seat, centered on
the seat cushion, with the person's legs comfortably
extended. Restart the vehicle and have the person
remain in this position for two to three minutes. This will
allow the system to detect that person and then
enable the right front passenger's frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag.
Safety belts help keep the passenger in position on the
seat during vehicle maneuvers and braking, which
helps the passenger sensing system maintain the
passenger airbag status. See "Safety Belts" and "Child
Restraints" in the Index for additional information
about the importance of proper restraint use.
CAUTION:
{
If the airbag readiness light in the instrument
panel cluster ever comes on and stays on, it
means that something may be wrong with the
airbag system. If this ever happens, have the
vehicle serviced promptly, because an
adult-size person sitting in the right front
passenger's seat may not have the protection
of the airbag(s). See Airbag Readiness Light
on page 3-31 for more on this, including
important safety information.
