Passenger Sensing System - Cadillac CTS Owner's Manual

Passenger Sensing System

Your vehicle has a passenger sensing system for
the right front passenger position. The passenger
airbag status indicator will be visible when you
turn your ignition key to ON or START. The words
ON and OFF or the symbol for on and off, will
be visible on the rearview mirror during the system
check. When the system check is complete,
either the word ON or the word OFF, or the symbol
for on or the symbol for off will be visible. See
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 194.

The passenger sensing system will turn off the
right front passenger's frontal airbag under certain
conditions. The driver's airbags are not part of
the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with
sensors that are part of the right front passenger's
seat. The sensors are designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated occupant and
determine if the passenger's frontal airbag should
be enabled (may inflate) or not.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if
they are restrained in the rear rather than the front
seat. We recommend that child restraints be
secured in a rear seat, including an infant riding in
a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward-facing child seat and an older child riding
in a booster seat.
