The front passenger sensing system uses
a passenger airbag off indicator which
illuminates and stays lit to remind you that
the front passenger frontal airbag is
disabled. The indicator lamp is in the
center stack of the instrument panel.
Note:
When you first switch the ignition on,
the passenger airbag off light illuminates
for a short period of time to confirm it is
functional.
The front passenger sensing system is
designed to disable (will not inflate) the
front passenger frontal airbag when the
front passenger seat is unoccupied, or a
rear facing infant seat, a forward-facing
child restraint, or a booster seat is
detected. Even with this technology,
parents are
strongly
encouraged to
always properly restrain children in the rear
seat. The sensor also turns off the
passenger front airbag and seat-mounted
side airbag when the passenger seat is
empty.
•
When the front passenger sensing
system disables (will not inflate) the
front passenger frontal airbag, the
passenger airbag status indicator
illuminates and stays lit to remind you
that the front passenger frontal airbag
is disabled.
•
If you install the child restraint and the
passenger airbag status indicator does
not illuminate, then switch the vehicle
off, remove the child restraint from the
vehicle and reinstall the restraint
following the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions.
The front passenger sensing system is
designed to enable (may inflate) the front
passenger frontal airbag anytime the
system senses that a person of adult size
is sitting properly in the front passenger
seat.
•
When the front passenger sensing
system enables the front passenger
frontal airbag (may inflate), the
passenger airbag status indicator will
not illuminate.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front
passenger seat, but the passenger airbag
status indicator lamp is lit, it is possible
that the person is not sitting properly in the
seat. If this happens:
•
Switch the vehicle off and ask the
person to place the seatback in the full
upright position.
•
Have the person 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 allows the system to
detect that person and enable the
passenger front airbag.
•
If the passenger airbag status indicator
lamp remains lit even after this, advise
the person to ride in the rear seat.
