seatback in an upright position, cen

tered on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the
floor). Restart the vehicle and have
the person remain in that position.
This will allow the system to detect
the person and to enable the pas

If the PASSENGER AIR BAG " "
indicator is still on, ask the passen

Do not allow an adult passenger to
ride in the front se
at when the PAS

SENGER AIR BAG " " indicator is
illuminated, because the air bag will
not deploy in the event of a crash.
The driver must instruct the pas
