If the vehicle is equipped with the passenger sensing
system, and when the passenger sensing system has
turned off the right front passenger frontal airbag, the off
indicator in the passenger airbag status indicator should
light and stay lit when you start the vehicle. See
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 431.
If a child restraint has been installed and the on
indicator is lit, see If the On Indicator is Lit for a
Child Restraint under Passenger Sensing System
on
page 284
for more information.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the vehicle
safety belt and let it return to the stowed position.
Airbag System
The vehicle has the following airbags:
.
A frontal airbag for the driver.
.
A frontal airbag for the right front passenger.
.
A roof-rail airbag for the driver and passenger
directly behind the driver.
.
A roof-rail airbag for the right front passenger and
the person seated directly behind that passenger.
The vehicle may have the following airbags:
.
A seatmounted side impact airbag for the driver.
.
A seatmounted side impact airbag for the right
front passenger.
.
If the vehicle has a third row seat, it will have a
third row roof-rail airbag.
All of the airbags in the vehicle will have the word
AIRBAG embossed in the trim or on an attached label
near the deployment opening.
For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear on the
middle part of the steering wheel for the driver and on
the instrument panel for the right front passenger.
With seatmounted side impact airbags, the word
AIRBAG will appear on the side of the seatback closest
to the door.
With roof-rail airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear
along the headliner or trim.
Airbags are designed to supplement the protection
provided by safety belts. Even though today's airbags
are also designed to help reduce the risk of injury from
the force of an inflating bag, all airbags must inflate very
quickly to do their job.
