• When the front passenger sensing
system enables the front
passenger frontal airbag (may
inflate), the passenger airbag
status indicator will illuminate the
ON lamp and remain illuminated.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the
front passenger’s seat, but the airbag
off indicator lamp is lit, it is possible
that the person isn’t sitting properly
in the seat. If this happens:
•
Turn the vehicle off and ask the
person to place the seat back 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 will allow
the system to detect that person
and enable the passenger’s frontal
airbag.
• If the indicator OFF lamp remains
lit even after this, the person
should be advised to ride in the
rear seat.
