Even though
the
passenger sensing system is
designed to turn
off
the passenger’s frontal air
bag if
the
system detects a rear-facing child
restraint, no system
is
fail-safe, and no one
can guarantee that an air bag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it
is
turned
off.
General Motors,
therefore, recommends that rear-facing child
restraints be secured
in
the
rear seat whenever
~
possible, even
if
the
air bag
is
off.
The passenger sensing system
is
designed
to
turn
off
the right front passenger’s frontal air bag if:
the right front passenger seat is unoccupied
the
system determines that an infant is present in a
the system determines
that
a
small child
is
present
rear-facing infant seat
in a forward-facing child restraint
the system determines that
a
small child is present
in
a
booster seat
a right front passenger takes hislher weight
off
of
the seat for a period
of
time
the right front passenger seat
is
occupied by a
smaller person, such as a child
who
has outgrown
child restraints
or if there
is
a
critical
problem with the air bag
system
or
the
passenger sensing system.
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 person’s 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.
