Seats and Restraints 3-33
The passenger sensing system
works with sensors that are part of
the front passenger seat and safety
belt. The sensors are designed to
detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and
determine if the front passenger
frontal airbag should be enabled
(may inflate) or not.
According to accident 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.
{
WARNING
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the front passenger
airbag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to
the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the
front passenger airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
passenger frontal airbag, no
system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though the
airbag is turned off.

WARNING (Continued)
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the airbag
is off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the 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 front
passenger frontal airbag if:
. The front passenger seat is
unoccupied.
. The system determines an infant
is present in a child restraint.
.
A front passenger takes his/her
weight off of the seat for a period
of time.
. Or, if there is a critical problem
with the airbag system or the
passenger sensing system.
