passenger to reposition himself in
the seat. Failure to properly position

is recommended that the passenger
move to the rear seat because the

indicator illuminates for about 4
seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position after the
vehicle is started. If the front pas -
senger seat is occupied, the occu -
pant detection sensor will then
classify the front passenger after
several more seconds.

child restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. A deploying air
bag can forcefully strike a child
resulting in serious 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.
If the occupant detection system is
" indicator
not working properly, the SRS air
bag warning light on the instrument
panel will illuminate because the
passenger's front air bag is con -
nected with the occupant detection
system. If there is a malfunction of
the occupant detection system, the

cator will not illuminate and the
passenger's front air bag will inflate
in frontal impact crashes even if

there is no occupant in the front
passenger's seat.
