lamp is located on the front edge of the map lamps.
Note: The indicator lamp will illuminate for a short period of time when
the ignition is turned to the on position to confirm it is functional.
When the front passenger seat is not occupied (empty seat) or in the
event that the front passenger frontal airbag is enabled (may inflate), the
indicator lamp will be unlit.
The front passenger sensing system is designed to disable (will not inflate)
the front passenger's frontal airbag when a rear-facing infant seat, a
forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is detected. Even with this
technology, parents are STRONGLY encouraged to always properly restrain
children in the rear seat. The sensor also turns off the passenger front
airbag and seat-mounted side airbag when the passenger seat is empty.
• When the front passenger sensing system disables (will not inflate) the
front passenger frontal airbag, the indicator lamp will illuminate and stay
lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal airbag is disabled.
• If the child restraint has been installed and the indicator lamp is not
lit, then turn your vehicle off, remove the child restraint from your
vehicle and reinstall the restraint following the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions.
The front passenger sensing system is designed to enable (may inflate)
the front passenger's frontal airbag anytime the system senses that a
person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger seat.
• When the front passenger sensing system enables the front passenger
frontal airbag (may inflate), the indicator will be unlit and stay unlit.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the
passenger airbag off or pass airbag off indicator lamp is lit, it is possible
that the person is not sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:
• Turn your vehicle off and ask the person to place the seat back in the
full upright position.
• Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion,
with the person's legs comfortably extended.
