The passenger sensing system will turn off the
passenger's frontal airbag and side impact airbag
under certain conditions. The driver's airbags
are not part of the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with sensors
that are part of the passenger's seat and safety
belt. The sensors are designed to detect the
presence of a properly seated occupant and
determine if the passenger's frontal airbag and
side impact airbag should be enabled (may inflate)
or not.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if
they are restrained in the rear rather than the front
seat. We recommend that rear-facing child
restraints not be transported in your vehicle, even
if the airbags are off.
Your vehicle has a label on the sun visor that
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.
Never put a child in a rear-facing child restraint
in the passenger's seat unless the passenger
airbag status indicator shows off and the airbags
are off.

CAUTION:
{
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the
passenger's airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to the
inflating airbag. Be sure the airbag is off
before using a rear-facing child restraint
in the passenger's position.
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
