This system works with sensors that are

part of the front passenger’s seat and

safety belt to detect the presence of a

properly–seated occupant and determine

if the front passenger’s frontal airbag

should be enabled (may inflate) or not.

(

The front passenger sensing system uses

a passenger airbag off indicator which will

illuminate and stay lit to remind you that

the front passenger frontal airbag is

disabled. The indicator lamp is located in

the center stack of the instrument panel.

Note: The passenger airbag off light will

illuminate for a short period of time when

the ignition is first turned on to confirm it is

functional.

The front passenger sensing system is

designed to disable (will not inflate) the

front passenger’s frontal airbag when the

front passenger seat is unoccupied, or a

rear facing infant seat, a forward-facing

child restraint, or a booster seat is

detected. 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 seat-mounted

side airbag when the passenger seat is

empty.

• 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 illuminates, 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 is

designed to enable (may inflate) the front

passenger’s frontal airbag anytime the

system senses that a person of adult size

is sitting properly in the front passenger

seat.

• 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 seat back 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.
