CAUTION (Continued)
be seriously injured or killed if
the right front passenger airbag
inflates and the passenger seat
is in a forward position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right
front passenger frontal airbag
and seat-mounted side impact
airbag (if equipped), no system is
fail-safe. No one can guarantee
that an airbag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance, even
though the airbag(s) are off.
Secure rear-facing child
restraints in a rear seat, even
if the airbag(s) are off. If you
secure a forward-facing child
restraint in the right 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 right
front passenger frontal airbag if:
• The right front passenger seat is
unoccupied.
• The system determines that an
infant is present in a rear-facing
infant seat.
• The system determines that a
small child is present in a
child restraint.
• The system determines that a
small child is present in a
booster seat.
• A right front passenger takes
his/her weight off of the seat
for a period of time.
• The right front passenger seat is
occupied by a smaller person,
such as a child who has
outgrown child restraints.
• Or, if there is a critical problem
with the airbag system or the
passenger sensing system.
When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right
front passenger frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag
(if equipped), the off indicator will
light and stay lit to remind you
that the airbag or airbags are off.
See Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 3-26.
The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn on (may inflate) the
right front passenger frontal airbag
and seat-mounted side impact airbag
(if equipped) anytime the system
senses that a person of adult size
is sitting properly in the right front
passenger seat.
When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the airbag or
airbags to be enabled, the on
indicator will light and stay lit to
remind you that the airbag or
airbags are active.
