The front passenger sensing system is

designed to disable (will not inflate) the

front passenger’s frontal airbag under

certain conditions:

• The front passenger seat is

unoccupied.

• The system determines an infant is

present in a child restraint.

• A passenger takes their weight off the

seat for a period of time.

• If there is a problem with the airbag

system or the passenger sensing

system.

Even with this technology, parents are

strongly encouraged to always properly

restrain children in the rear seat.

• When the front passenger sensing

system disables (will not inflate) the

front passenger frontal airbag, the

passenger airbag status indicator will

illuminate and stay lit to remind you

that the front passenger frontal airbag

is disabled.

• If the child restraint has been installed

and the passenger airbag status

indicator does not illuminate, then turn

the vehicle off, remove the child

restraint from the vehicle and reinstall

the restraint following the child

restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

The front passenger sensing system works

with sensors that are part of the front

passenger’s seat and safety belt. The

sensors are designed to detect the

presence of a properly–seated occupant

and determine if the front passenger’s

frontal airbag should be enabled.

• When the front passenger sensing

system enables the front passenger

frontal airbag (may inflate), the

passenger airbag status indicator will

not illuminate.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front

passenger's seat, but the passenger airbag

status indicator lamp is lit, it is possible

that the person is not sitting properly in the

seat. If this happens:

• Turn the vehicle off and ask the person

to place the seatback in the full upright

position.

• Have the person sit upright in the seat,

centered on the seat cushion, with the

person's legs comfortably extended.

• Restart the vehicle and have the person

remain in this position for about two

minutes. This will allow the system to

detect that person and enable the

passenger’s frontal airbag.

• If the passenger airbag status indicator

lamp remains lit even after this, the

person should be advised to ride in the

rear seat.

Note: When the passenger airbag status

indicator lamp is illuminated, the passenger

side airbag (seat mounted) may be disabled

to avoid the risk of airbag deployment

injuries.

After all occupants have adjusted their

seats and put on safety belts, it is very

important that they continue to sit

properly. A properly seated occupant sits

upright, leaning against the seatback, and

centered on the seat cushion, with their

feet comfortably extended on the floor.

Sitting improperly can increase the chance

of injury in a crash event. For example, if

an occupant slouches, lies down, turns

sideways, sits forward, leans forward or

sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the

chance of injury during a crash is greatly

increased.

If you think that the status of the passenger

airbag off indicator lamp is incorrect, check

for the following:

• Objects lodged underneath the seat

• Objects between the seat cushion and

the center console
