We advise against allowing a child age 12 or under to ride in the front passenger's
seat. However, if you do allow a small child or infant to ride in the front passenger's
seat, the system is designed to automatically deactivate the front passenger's airbag.
Do not let a small child or infant ride in the front passenger's seat if the airbag does
not automatically deactivate.

The front passenger's advanced airbag system
has weight sensors. The sensors are used for
occupant classification to activate or
deactivate the front passenger's airbag.
For adult size occupants, the system will
automatically activate the front passenger's
airbag. If a small adult sits in the front
passenger seat and the system does not
recognize him/her as an adult, see

For the advanced front airbags to work properly,
confirm that:
•
The occupant is sitting in an upright position,
wearing the seat belt properly and the seat back is
not excessively reclined.
•
The occupant is not leaning against the door or
center console.
•
The occupant's feet are placed on the floor in front
of them.
•
There are no objects hanging from the front
passenger's seat.
•
Only small, lightweight objects are in the seat back
pocket.
•
The steering wheel and passenger's side dashboard
are not obstructed by any object.
•
No liquid has been spilled on or under the seat.
•
There is no child seat or other object pressing
against the rear of the seat or seat back.
•
There is no rear passenger pushing or pulling on
the back of the front passenger's seat.
•
There are no objects placed under or beside the
front passenger's seat. Improperly positioned
objects can interfere with the advanced airbag
sensors.

The floor mat behind the front passenger's seat is
hooked to the floor mat anchor. An improperly
placed mat can interfere with the advanced airbag
sensors.
•
The head restraint is not contacting the roof.
