If the word ON is lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the right front passenger's
frontal airbag is enabled (may inflate).
CAUTION:
{
If the on indicator comes on when you have a
rear-facing child restraint installed in the right
front passenger's seat, it means that the
passenger sensing system has not turned off
the passenger's frontal airbag. A child in a
rear-facing child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right front passenger's
airbag inflates. This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very close
to the inflating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front passenger's
seat if the airbag is turned on.
3-36
Your vehicle has a rear seat that will accommodate a
rear-facing child restraint. A label on your sun visor says,
"Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front." This
is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag deploys.
CAUTION:
{
Even though the passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the passenger's frontal
airbag if the system detects a rear-facing child
restraint, no system is failsafe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance, even though it is
turned off. We recommend that rear-facing
child restraints be secured in the rear seat,
even if the airbag is off.
If the word OFF is lit on the airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing system has turned off
the right front passenger's frontal airbag. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 1-61 for more on this,
including important safety information.
