If the on symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the right front passenger's
airbag or airbags are 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
and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if
equipped). 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.
218
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 and side
impact airbag (if equipped) if the system
detects a rear-facing child restraint, no
system is fail-safe, 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.
