Sitting improperly can increase the chance
of injury in a crash event. For example, if an
occupant slouches, lies down, turns
sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the
chance of injury during a crash greatly
increases.
If you think that the state of the passenger
airbag status indicator lamp is incorrect,
check for the following:
•
Objects lodged underneath the seat.
•
Objects between the seat cushion and
the center console.
•
Objects hanging off the seat backrest.
•
Objects stowed in the seat backrest map
pocket.
•
Objects placed on the occupant's lap.
•
Cargo interference with the seat
•
Other passengers pushing or pulling on
the seat.
•
Rear passenger feet and knees resting
or pushing on the seat.
The listed conditions could cause the weight
of a properly seated occupant to be
incorrectly interpreted by the front passenger
sensing system. The person in the front
passenger seat could appear heavier or
lighter due to the conditions listed.
E67017
Make sure the front passenger
sensing system is operating
properly.
If the airbag readiness light is on, do the
following:
•
Pull your vehicle over.
•
Switch your vehicle off.
•
Check for any objects lodged underneath
the front passenger seat or cargo
interfering with the seat.
•
Remove the obstruction if found.
•
Restart your vehicle.
•
Wait at least two minutes and verify that
the airbag readiness light in the
instrument cluster is no longer
illuminated.
•
If the airbag readiness light in the
instrument cluster remains illuminated,
there may be a problem due to the front
passenger sensing system.
Do not attempt to repair or service the
system. Take your vehicle in for service
immediately.
If it is necessary to modify an advanced front
airbag system to accommodate a person
with disabilities, contact your Customer
Relationship Center.
