WARNING (Continued)
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right
front passenger frontal airbag
and seat-mounted side impact
airbag (if equipped), no system is
fail-safe. No one can guarantee
that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual
circumstance, even though
the airbag(s) are off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the
airbag(s) are off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the right front seat, always move
the front passenger seat as far
back as it will go. It is better to
secure the child restraint in a
rear seat.
The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the right front
passenger frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag if:
.
The right front passenger seat is
unoccupied.
.
The system determines that an
infant is present in a rear-facing
infant seat.
.
The system determines that a
small child is present in a child
restraint.
.
The system determines that a
small child is present in a
booster seat.
.
A right front passenger takes
his/her weight off of the seat for
a period of time.
.
The right front passenger seat
is occupied by a smaller person,
such as a child who has
outgrown child restraints.
.
Or, if there is a critical problem
with the airbag system or the
passenger sensing system.
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 airbag(s) are
off. See
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 5

.
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 airbag(s) to
be enabled, the on indicator will light
and stay lit to remind you that the
airbag or airbags are active.
