If after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting
the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to make
sure that the vehicle’s seatback is not pressing the
child restraint into the seat cushion. If this happens,
slightly recline the vehicle’s seatback and adjust the
seat cushion if possible.
If the on indicator is still lit, do not secure the child
restraint in this vehicle and check with your dealer.
The passenger sensing system is designed to enable
(may inflate) the passenger’s frontal airbag and
side impact airbag (if equipped) anytime the system
senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in
the passenger’s 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 passenger’s
frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped),
depending upon the person’s seating posture and
body build. Everyone in your vehicle who has
outgrown child restraints should wear a safety belt
properly — whether or not there is an airbag for
that person.
If a person of adult-size is sitting in the passenger’s
seat, but the off indicator is lit, it could be because that
person is not sitting properly in the seat. If this
happens, turn the vehicle off and ask the person to
place the seatback in the fully upright position, then
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 then enable the passenger’s
frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped).
