When the system check is complete, either the
word ON or the word OFF, or the symbol for on or
the symbol for off, will be visible. See Passenger
Airbag Status Indicator on page 192.
The passenger sensing system will turn off the
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
sensors that are part of the 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 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 rear-facing child
restraints not be transported in your vehicle, even
if the airbag is off.

Your vehicle has a label on the sun visor that
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.
Never put a child in a rear-facing child restraint
in the passenger's seat unless the passenger
airbag status indicator shows off and the airbags
are off.
CAUTION:
{
A child in a rear-facing child restraint
can be seriously injured or killed if the
passenger's airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to the
inflating airbag. Be sure the airbag is off
before using a rear-facing child restraint
in the passenger's position.
