Supplementary Restraints System
• Restart your vehicle and have the person remain in this position for
about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person
and enable the passenger's frontal airbag.
• If the indicator lamp remains lit even after this, the person should be
advised to ride in the rear seat.

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on safety belts, it is
very important that they continue to sit properly. A properly seated
occupant sits upright, leaning against the seat back, and centered on the
seat cushion, with their feet comfortably extended on the floor. Sitting
improperly can increase the chance of injury in a crash event. For
example, if an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward,
leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of
injury during a crash is greatly increased.
The front passenger sensing system may detect small or medium objects
placed on the seat cushion. For most objects that are in the front
passenger seat, the passenger airbag will be disabled. Even though the
passenger airbag is disabled, the pass airbag off lamp may or may not be
illuminated.
If you think that the status of the passenger airbag off indicator lamp is
incorrect, check for the following:
• Objects lodged underneath the seat.
• Objects between the seat cushion and the center console (if
equipped).
• Objects hanging off the seatback.
• Objects stowed in the seatback map pocket (if equipped).
• Objects placed on the occupant's lap.
• Cargo interference with the seat.
• Other passengers pushing or pulling on the seat.
• Rear passenger feet and knees resting or pushing on the seat.
The conditions listed above may cause the weight of a properly seated
occupant to be incorrectly interpreted by the front passenger sensing
