When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag,
the off indicator will light and stay lit
to remind you that the airbag is off.
See
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 5 ‑ 18 .
The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn on (may inflate) the
front outboard passenger frontal
airbag anytime the system senses
that a person of adult size is sitting
properly in the front outboard
passenger seat.
When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the airbag to be
enabled, the on indicator will light
and stay lit to remind you that the
airbag is active.
For some children, including
children in child restraints, and for
very small adults, the passenger
sensing system may or may not turn
off the front outboard passenger
frontal 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.
