Front passenger sensing system

For airbags to do their job they must inflate with great force, and this

force can pose a potentially deadly risk to occupants that are very close

to the airbag when it begins to inflate. For some occupants, this occurs

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.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: 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 when the passenger seat is empty and the

safety belt is unbuckled.

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威 to tailor the airbag deployment and

safety belt pretensioner activation depending upon safety belt usage.
