Passenger Sensing System

Your vehicle is equipped with the
Passenger Sensing System.
The passenger sensing system
turns off the front passenger's
frontal air bag under certain
conditions.
The driver's air bag, seat-mounted
side-impact air bags and the roof-
mounted air bags are not part of
this system.
When you turn the ignition to ON
or START, the air bag "on" and
"off" indicators will appear briefly
in the passenger sensing system
status bar (located on the
instrument panel).
One of the indicators will stay on
to indicate whether the front
passenger's frontal and seat-
mounted side-impact air bags are
on or off.
Sensors in the front passenger
seat detect the presence of an
occupant to determine if the
passenger's frontal air bag should
be on or off.
