2-38 Seats and Restraints
When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right
front passenger frontal airbag and
seat
‐ mounted side impact airbag,
the off indicator will light and stay lit
to remind you that the airbags are
off. See
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 4 ‑ 19 .
The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn on (may inflate)
the right front passenger frontal
airbag and seat
‐ mounted side
impact airbag anytime the system
senses that a person of adult size
is sitting properly in the right front
passenger seat.
When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the airbags to
be enabled, the on indicator will light
and stay lit to remind you that the
airbags are active.
For some children who have
outgrown child restraints and for
very small adults, the passenger
sensing system may or may not
turn off the right front passenger
frontal airbag and seat-mounted
side impact airbag, depending
upon the person
’ s seating posture
and body build. Everyone in the
vehicle who has outgrown child
restraints should wear a safety belt
properly
— whether or not there is
an airbag for that person.
{
WARNING

comes on and stays on, it means

Light on page 4 ‑ 18 for more
