If the word ON or the on symbol 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.
3-38
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.
