54 Seats and Restraints
3. Remove a
ny additional items from the seat
s
uch as blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat
heaters, or seat massagers.
4. Reinstall the child restraint following the
directions provided by the child restraint
manufacturer and refer to Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat Belt in the Rear
Seat) 370 Securing Child Restraints (With
the Seat Belt in the Front Seat) 372.
Make sure the seat belt retractor is locked
by pulling the shoulder belt all the way
out of the retractor when installing the
child restraint, even if the child restraint
is equipped with aseat belt lock off.
When the retractor lock is set, the belt
can be tightened but not pulled out of
the retractor.
5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint and
restarting the vehicle, the ON indicator is
still lit, turn the vehicle off. Then slightly
recline the vehicle seatback and adjust the
seat cushion, if adjustable, to make sure
that the vehicle seatback is not pushing the
child restraint into the seat cushion.
Also make sure the child restraint is not
tr
apped under the vehicle head restraint. If
this happens, adjust the head restraint. See
Head Restraints 330.
6. Restart the vehicle.
The passenger sensing system may or may not
turn off the airbag for a child in a child restraint
depending upon the child’s size. It is better to
secure the child restraint in arear seat. Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat,
even if the ON indicator is not lit.
If the Off Indicator Is Lit for an Adult-
Sized Occupant
If aperson of adult size is sitting in the front
ou
tboard passenger seat, but the OFF indicator
is lit, it could be because that person is not
sitting properly in the seat or that the child
restraint locking feature is engaged. Use the
following steps to allow the system to detect
that person and enable the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag:
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Remove any additional material from the
seat, such as blankets, cushions, seat
covers, seat heaters, or seat massagers.
3. Place the seatback in the fully
upright position.
4. Have the person sit upright in the seat,
centered on the seat cushion, with legs
comfortably extended.
5. If the shoulder portion of the belt is
pulled out all the way, the child restraint
locking feature will be engaged. This
may unintentionally cause the passenger
sensing system to turn the airbag off
for some adult-sized occupants. If this
happens, unbuckle the belt, let the belt
go back all the way, and then buckle the
belt again without pulling the belt out all
the way.
