The words ON and OFF, or the
symbol for on and off, will be visible
during the system check. When the
system check is complete, either
the word ON or OFF, or the symbol
for on or off will be visible. See
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 5 12.
The passenger sensing system will
turn off the right front passenger
frontal airbag under certain
conditions. The driver airbag is not
affected by the passenger sensing
system.
The passenger sensing system
works with sensors that are part
of the right front passenger seat.
The sensors are designed to detect
the presence of a properly-seated
occupant and determine if the right
front passenger frontal airbag
should be enabled (may inflate)
or not.

Seats and Restraints
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer
when properly restrained in a child
restraint system or infant restraint
system secured in a rear seating
position.
We recommend that children be
secured in a rear seat, including:
an infant or a child riding in a
rear-facing child restraint; a child
riding in a forward-facing child seat;
an older child riding in a booster
seat; and children, who are large
enough, using safety belts.
We recommend that rear facing
child restraints not be transported in
the vehicle, even if the airbag is off.
