United States –
Hatchback
If you have a hatchback, the airbag off symbol will
be visible in the Secondary Information Center
(SIC) during the system check. See Secondary
Information Center (SIC) (Hatchback Only)
on page 175. When the system check is complete,
the airbag off symbol will be visible under certain
conditions.
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 airbags are not part of the passenger
sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with a
sensor that is part of the right front passenger's
seat cushion. The sensor is designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated occupant and

determine if the passenger's frontal airbag and
side impact airbag (if equipped) 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 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.
Your vehicle has a rear seat that accommodates a
rear-facing child restraint. A label on your sun
visor 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.
CAUTION:
{
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the right
front passenger's airbag inflates.
