The passenger sensing system will turn off the right
front passenger's frontal airbag and side impact airbag
(if equipped) under certain conditions. The driver's airbag
or airbags are not part of the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with sensors that
are part of the right front 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 airbag or airbags 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.
General Motors recommends that child restraints
be secured in a rear seat, including an infant riding in a
rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in a forward-facing
child seat and an older child riding in a booster seat.
