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™ to tailor the airbag deployment

and safety belt pretensioner activation depending upon safety belt usage.

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 rollover and side collisions when the

Safety Canopy威 is activated. This helps increase 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.

Front safety belt energy management retractors

The front outboard safety belt energy management retractors allow

webbing to be pulled out of the retractor in a gradual and controlled

manner in response to the occupant’s forward momentum. This helps

reduce the risk of force-related injuries to the occupant’s chest by

limiting the load on the occupant. Refer to Energy management feature

— front outboard section in this chapter.

Determining if the Personal Safety System™ is operational

The Personal Safety System™ uses a warning light in the instrument

cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer

to the Warning lights and chimes section in the Instrument Cluster

chapter. Routine maintenance of the Personal Safety System™ is not

required.
