Section 2
The driver's frontal and seat-
mounted side-impact air bags and
the roof-mounted side-impact air
bags are not part of this system.
When you start the vehicle, the
system will perform a self-check.
The air bag "on" and "off"
indicators will appear briefly in
the passenger sensing system
status bar (located on the
overhead console).
When the system self-check is
complete, one of the indicators
will stay on to indicate whether the
right front passenger's frontal air
bag is on or off.
Note:
You may not see the system
self-check when using the
vehicle remote-start feature to
start the engine.
See "Vehicle Remote-Start" in
Section 3 for more information.
Sensors in the right front passen-
ger seat and safety belt detect
the presence of an occupant to
determine if the passenger’s
frontal air bag should be on or off.
The passenger sensing system
will turn off the passenger frontal
air bag under the following
conditions:
• The right front passenger seat
has no weight placed on it
for a period of time or is
unoccupied.
• The system detects an infant in
a child restraint.
It is important to note that
for some children, including
children in child restraints, and
for very small adults, the
system may or may not turn off
the air bag, depending upon
the person's seating posture
and body build.
