Front passenger sensing system

The front passenger sensing system will turn off the front passenger’s

frontal air bag under certain conditions. The front passenger

seat-mounted side air bag (if equipped) will be deactivated if the sensor

detects an empty seat; otherwise, the seat-mounted side air bag will be

enabled. 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 air bag should be enabled (may

inflate) or not.

The front passenger sensing system is designed to meet the regulatory

requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208

and is designed to turn off the front passenger’s frontal air bag if:

• the front passenger seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in

the front seat,

• the system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant

seat that is installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions,

• the system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing

child restraint that is installed according to the manufacturer’s

instructions,

• the system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat,

• a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of

time,

• A smaller person, such as a child who has outgrown child restraints,

or a small adult occupies the front passenger seat.

Even with the front passenger sensing system, children 12 and

under should be properly restrained in the back seat.

When the front passenger seat is

occupied and the sensing system

has turned off the passenger’s

frontal air bag, the ⬙passenger airbag

off⬙ or ⬙pass airbag off⬙ indicator will

light and stay lit to remind you that

the front passenger frontal air bag is

off. When the front passenger seat is

not occupied (empty seat) or in the event that the front passenger

frontal air bag is enabled (may inflate), the indicator light will be unlit.
