Passenger Sensing System
The vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the
right front passenger position. The passenger airbag
status indicator will be visible on the overhead console
when you start the vehicle.
United States Canada
The words ON and OFF, or the symbol for on and off,
will be visible during the system check. If you are using
remote start to start your vehicle from a distance,
if equipped, you may not see the system check. When
the system check is complete, either the word ON or
the word OFF, or the symbol for on or the symbol for off,
will be visible. See
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 4 ‑ 55 .
The passenger sensing system will turn off the right
front passenger frontal airbag under certain conditions.
The driver airbag, seat
‐ mounted side impact airbags
and the roof ‐ rail airbags are not part of the passenger
sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with sensors
that are part of the right front passenger seat. The
sensors are designed to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine if the right
front passenger's frontal airbag should be enabled
(may inflate) or not.
According to statistics, children are safer when properly
secured in a rear seat in the correct child restraint for
their weight and size.
We recommend that children be secured in a rear seat,
including: an infant or a child riding in a rear-facing child
restraint; a child riding in a forward-facing child seat; an
older child riding in a booster seat; and children, who
are large enough, using safety belts.
A label on the sun visor says, “ Never put a rear-facing
child seat in the front. ” This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys.
