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

passenger front air bag. The system is designed to help protect small

(child size) occupants from air bag 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 air bag

when the passenger seat is empty to prevent unnecessary replacement of

the air bag(s) after a collision.

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

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

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

bag is off. See Front passenger sensing system in the airbags 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 air bag deployment and

safety belt pretensioner activation depending upon safety belt usage.

Refer to Safety Belt section in this chapter.

Front safety belt pretensioners

The safety belt pretensioners are designed to tighten the front outboard

safety belts firmly against the occupant’s body during a collision. This

maximizes the effectiveness of the safety belts and helps properly

position the occupant relative to the air bag to improve protection. The

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

is of sufficient severity, together with the air bags.

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
