Front passenger sensing system

For airbags to do their job they must inflate with great force, and this force

can pose a potentially deadly risk to occupants that are very close to the

airbag when it begins to inflate. For some occupants, like infants in

rear-facing child seats, this occurs because they are initially sitting very

close to the airbag. For other occupants, this occurs when the occupant is

not properly restrained by seat belts or child safety seats and they move

forward during pre-crash braking. The most effective way to reduce the

risk of unnecessary injuries is to make sure all occupants are properly

restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are much safer when

properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front.

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 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 passenger

front airbag and passenger seat-mounted side airbag (if equipped) when

the passenger seat is empty.

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 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娂 to tailor the airbag deployment and

safety belt pretensioner activation depending upon safety belt usage.

Refer to Safety restraints section in this chapter.
