Proper position
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is on when an adult is seat-
ed in the front passenger seat, press
the Engine Start/Stop Button to the
OFF position and ask the passenger
to sit properly (sitting upright with the
seatback in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor).
Restart the engine and have the per-
son remain in that position. This will
allow the system to detect the person
and to enable the passenger air bag.
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is still on, ask the passen-
ger to move to the rear seat.
WARNING
Do not allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front seat when the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is illuminated because
the air bag will not deploy in the
event of a crash. If the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
remains illuminated after the
adult passenger
themselves properly and the car
B990A01O
is restarted, it is recommended
that passenger move to the rear
seat because the passenger's
front air bag will not deploy.
Front seat passengers must stay
properly seated to avoid serious
injury from a deploying air bag.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates after the
Engine Start/Stop Button is pressed
to the ON position or after the
engine is started. If the front passen-
ger seat is occupied, the OCS will
then classify the front passenger
after several more seconds.
Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING

could interfere with proper sen-
sor operation.
repositions
WARNING
• Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant
classification system, never
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat. A
deploying air bag can forcefully
strike a child resulting in seri-
ous injuries or death. Any child
age 12 and under should ride in
the rear seat. Children too large
for child restraints should use
the available lap/shoulder belts.
No matter what type of crash,
children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.
