WARNING
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the outboard front
passenger airbag inflates.
This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating
airbag. A child in a forward-facing
child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the outboard
front passenger airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the
outboard front passenger frontal
airbag, no system is fail-safe.
No one can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under some
unusual circumstance, even
though the airbag is turned off.

WARNING (Continue d)
Secure rear-facing child
restraints in a rear seat, even if
the airbag is off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the outboard 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 outboard
front passenger airbag if:
.
The outboard front passenger
seat is unoccupied.
.
The system determines an infant
is present in a child restraint.
.
An outboard front passenger
takes his/her weight off of the
seat for a period of time.
.
There is a critical problem with
the airbag system or the
passenger sensing system.
When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the outboard
front passenger frontal airbag, the
off indicator will light and stay lit to
remind you that the airbag is off.
See Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 4‑21.
The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn on (may inflate) the
outboard front passenger frontal
airbag anytime the system senses
that a person of adult size is sitting
properly in the outboard front
passenger seat.
When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the airbag to be
enabled, the on indicator will light
and stay lit to remind you that the
airbag is active.
For some children, including
children in child restraints, and for
very small adults, the passenger
sensing system may or may not turn
off the outboard front passenger
