The passenger sensing system will
turn off the passenger frontal
air bag under the following
conditions:
• The front passenger seat has no
weight placed on it for a period
of time.
Note:
The on indicator may be lit if
an object, such as a briefcase,
handbag, grocery bag, lap-
top or other electronic device
is put on an unoccupied seat.
If this is not desired, remove
the object from the seat.
• The system detects an infant in
a child restraint.
It is important to note that for
some children, including children
in child restraints, and for very
small adults, the system may or
may not turn off the air bag,
depending upon the person's seat-
ing posture and body build.
Everyone in your vehicle who has
outgrown child restraints should
wear a safety belt properly, wheth-
er or not there is an air bag for that
person.
The front passenger's frontal air
bag is also turned off if there is a
critical problem with the air bag
system or with the passenger
sensing system.
Section 2
The "off" indicator will stay on if
the front passenger's air bags are
deactivated.
When the system senses that a
person of adult size is sitting in the
front passenger seat, the front
passenger's air bags will be reacti-
vated and the "on" indicator will
appear in the passenger sensing
system status bar.
