When the passenger sensing system has turned off the
passenger’s frontal air bag, the
off
indicator will light
and stay lit
to
remind you that the air bag is
off.
The passenger sensing system is designed
to
turn off
the passenger’s frontal air bag when a rear facing infant
seat, a forward-facing child restraint or a booster seat
is detected. If the child restraint has been installed
and the on indicator is lit, turn the vehicle
off,
remove
the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the
restraint following the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions and refer
to
Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position on page
1-68
of this manual.
If after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting
the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, secure the child in
the child restraint in a rear seat position in the vehicle
and check with your dealer.
The passenger sensing system is designed
to
enable
(may inflate) the right front passenger’s frontal air
bag anytime the system senses that a person of adult
size is sitting properly in the right front passenger’s seat.
When the passenger sensing system has allowed the
air bag
to
be enabled, the on indicator will light and stay
lit
to
remind you that the air bag is active.
For some children who have outgrown child restraints
and for very small adults, the passenger sensing system
may or may not turn
off the right front passenger’s
frontal air bag, depending upon the persons seating
posture and body build. Everyone in your vehicle who
has outgrown child restraints should wear a safety
belt properly
-
whether or not there is an air bag for that
person.
If a person of adult-size is sitting in the right front
passenger’s seat, but the
off indicator is
lit,
it
could be
because that person isn’t sitting properly in the seat.
If
this happens, turn the vehicle
off
and ask the person
to
place the seatback in the full upright position, then sit
upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the
person’s legs comfortably extended. Restart the vehicle
and have the person remain in this position for about two
minutes. This will allow the system
to
detect that person
and then enable the passenger’s air bag.
