properly seated occupant and determine if
the front outboard passenger frontal airbag
should be allowed to inflate or not.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly secured in a rear seat
in the correct child restraint for their weight
and size.
Whenever possible, children aged 12 and
under should be secured in a rear seating
position.
Danger
NEVER use a rearward-facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it; DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
Danger
If using a rear-facing child restraint on
the front passenger seat, the airbag for
the front passenger seat must be off. This
also applies to certain forward-facing
child restraints as indicated in the tables
listed in this manual.
The passenger sensing system is designed to
turn off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag if:
The front outboard passenger seat is
unoccupied.
The system determines an infant is
present in a child restraint.
A front outboard passenger takes his/her
weight off of the seat for a period
of time.
There is a critical problem with the airbag
system or the passenger sensing system.
When the passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, the off indicator will light and
stay lit as a reminder that the airbag is off.
See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 0 95.
The passenger sensing system is designed to
turn on the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag anytime the system senses that a
person of adult size is sitting properly in the
front outboard passenger seat.
When the passenger sensing system has
allowed the airbag to be enabled, the on
indicator will light and stay lit as a reminder
that the airbag is active.
Seats and Restraints
For some children, including children in child
restraints, and for very small adults, the
passenger sensing system may or may not
turn off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, depending upon the person's
seating posture and body build. Everyone in
the vehicle who has outgrown child
restraints should wear a seat belt
properly whether or not there is an
airbag for that person.
Warning
If the airbag readiness light comes on
and stays on, it means that something
may be wrong with the airbag system.
To help avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right away. See
Airbag Readiness Light 0 94 for more
information, including important safety
information.
