allows your Personal Safety System娂 to distinguish between different

levels of crash severity and modify the deployment strategy of the

dual-stage airbags and safety belt pretensioners.

Driver’s seat position sensor

The driver’s seat position sensor allows your Personal Safety System娂 to

tailor the deployment level of the driver dual-stage airbag based on seat

position. The system is designed to help protect smaller drivers sitting

close to the driver airbag by providing a lower airbag output level.

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 safety 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 airbag

when the passenger seat is empty to prevent unnecessary replacement of

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
