because they are initially sitting very close to the airbag. For other

occupants, this occurs when the occupant is not properly restrained by

safety belts or child safety seats and they move forward during pre-crash

braking. The most effective way to reduce the risk of unnecessary

injuries is to make sure all occupants are properly restrained. Accident

statistics suggest that children are much safer when properly restrained

in the rear seating positions than in the front.

Air bags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NEVER place a

rear-facing child seat in front of an active air bag. If you must

use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the seat all the

way back.

Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back

seat and always properly use appropriate child restraints.

The front passenger sensing system can automatically turn off the front

passenger airbag and passenger seat-mounted side airbag. The system is

designed to help protect small (child size) occupants from frontal airbag

deployments when they are seated or restrained in the front passenger

seat contrary to proper child-seating or restraint usage

recommendations. 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 passenger

seat-mounted side airbag (if equipped) when the passenger seat is

empty.

Front safety belt usage sensors

The front safety belt usage sensors detect whether or not the driver and

front outboard passenger safety belts are fastened. This information

allows your Personal Safety System娂 to tailor the airbag deployment and

safety belt pretensioner activation depending upon safety belt usage.

Refer to Safety restraints section in this chapter.

Front safety belt pretensioners

The safety belt pretensioners at the front outboard seating positions are

designed to tighten the safety belts firmly against the occupant’s body

during frontal collisions and in side collisions, and in rollovers when the

vehicle is equipped with the optional Safety Canopy娂 system. This

maximizes the effectiveness of the safety belts. In frontal collisions, the

safety belt pretensioners can be activated alone or, if the collision is of

sufficient severity, together with the front airbags.
