CHILDREN AND AIRBAGS

WARNING: Do not place a rearward
facing child restraint in front of an active
airbag. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death.
E142846
Children must always be properly restrained.
Accident statistics suggest that children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front seating
position. Failure to follow these instructions
may increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Airbags
If two adults and a child occupy a vehicle
without rear seats, properly restrain the child
in the center front seat unless doing so
would interfere with driving your vehicle. This
provides lap and shoulder belt protection for
all occupants, and airbag protection for the
adults. A child or infant properly restrained
in the center front seat should have a
reduced risk to serious injury from the
airbags.
FRONT PASSENGER SENSING
SYSTEM
WHAT IS THE FRONT PASSENGER
SENSING SYSTEM
This system detects a properly seated
occupant and determines if the front
passenger airbag should be enabled.

HOW DOES THE FRONT PASSENGER
SENSING SYSTEM WORK
The system uses a passenger airbag status
indicator which illuminates indicating that the
front passenger frontal airbag is either
enabled or disabled.
Note: When you first switch the ignition on,
the passenger airbag status indicator off and
on lamps illuminate for a short period to
confirm they are functional.
E181984
The indicator lamps are in the center stack
of the instrument panel.
The front passenger sensing system is
designed to disable the front passenger
frontal airbag under these conditions:
• The front passenger seat is unoccupied.
• The system determines an infant is
present in a child restraint.
