If the vehicle does not have a rear
seat that will accommodate a
rear-facing child restraint, a
rear-facing child restraint should not
be installed in the vehicle, even if
the airbag is off.
The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the right
front passenger airbag and
seat-mounted side impact 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,
the off indicator will light and stay lit
to remind you that the 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 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 airbags to
be enabled, the on indicator will light
and stay lit to remind you that the
airbags are active.
