The front passenger sensing system can automatically turn off the

passenger front airbag. The system is designed to help protect small

(child size) occupants from airbag deployments when they are

improperly 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 airbag

when the passenger seat is empty to prevent unnecessary replacement of

the airbag(s) after a collision.

When the front passenger seat is occupied and the sensing system has

turned off the passenger’s frontal airbag, the “pass airbag off” indicator

will light and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal

airbag is off. See Front passenger sensing system in the Airbag

supplemental restraints (SRS) section of this chapter.

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 outboard 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 when the side air curtain

system activates. 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 outboard safety belt energy management retractors

The front 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.

Determining if the Personal Safety System is operational

The Personal Safety System uses a warning light in the instrument

cluster, a warning message, or a backup tone to indicate the condition of

the system. Refer to the Warning lights and indicators section in the

Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the Personal Safety

System is not required.
