passenger sensing system. The indicator will be visible
when you turn your ignition key to START or RUN.
The words
ON
and

or the symbol for on and off,
will be visible on the rearview mirror during the system
check. When the system check is complete, either

or the symbol for on or
the symbol for
off
will be visible. See

If your rearview

The passenger sensing system will turn
off
the right
front passenger’s frontal air bag under certain
conditions. The driver’s air bag and the side air bags
are not part of the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with sensors that
are part of the right front passenger’s seat and safety
belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of
a properly-seated occupant and determine
if
the
passenger’s frontal air bag should be enabled (may
inflate) or not.
