Section 2
The passenger sensing system will
turn off the passenger frontal
air bag under the following
conditions:
• The front passenger seat has no
weight placed on it for a period
of time.
• The system detects a child in a
rear-facing infant seat.
• The system detects a child in a
forward-facing child restraint.
• The system detects a child in a
booster seat.
• The front passenger seat is
occupied by a smaller person,
such as a child who has out-
grown child restraints or a very
small adult.
It is important to note that
for some children who have
outgrown child restraints and
for very small adults, the
system may or may not turn off
the air bags, depending upon
the person's seating posture
and body build.
Everyone in your vehicle who
has outgrown child restraints
should wear a safety belt prop-
erly, whether or not there is an
air bag for that person.
The passenger air bag is also
turned off if there is a critical
problem with the frontal air
bag system or with the passenger
sensing system.
