Seats and Restraints
In many crashes severe enough to
inflate the airbag, windscreens are
broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windscreen breakage
may also occur from the front
passenger airbag.
.
Airbags are designed to inflate
only once. After an airbag
inflates, you will need some new
parts for the airbag system.
If you do not get them, the
airbag system will not be there
to help protect you in another
crash. A new system will include
airbag modules and possibly
other parts. The service manual
for your vehicle covers the need
to replace other parts.
.
The vehicle has a crash sensing
and diagnostic module which
records information after a
crash. See

Let only qualified technicians
work on the airbag systems.
Improper service can mean that
an airbag system will not work
properly. See your dealer for
service.
Passenger Sensing
System
If the vehicle has the passenger
airbag status indicator pictured in
the following illustration, then the
vehicle has a passenger sensing
system for the front passenger
position. The passenger airbag
status indicator, if equipped, is
visible on the overhead console
when the vehicle is started.
In addition, if the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for the
front passenger position, the label
on the vehicle's sun visors refers to
"ADVANCED AIRBAGS".
The symbol for on and off is visible
during the system check. If you are
using remote start, if equipped, to
start the vehicle from a distance,
you may not see the system check.
When the system check is
complete, either the symbol for on
or off will be visible. See
Passenger
Airbag Status Indicator on
page 5

.
The passenger sensing system will
turn off the front passenger frontal
airbag under certain conditions. The
driver airbag, seat-mounted side
impact airbags (if equipped) and the
roof-rail airbags are not affected by
the passenger sensing system.
