A label on your sun visor says, “Never put a rear-facing

child seat in the front.” This is because the risk to the

rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys.

{CAUTION:

A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be

seriously injured or killed if the right front

passenger’s airbag inﬂates. This is because

the back of the rear-facing child restraint

would be very close to the inﬂating airbag.

Even if the passenger sensing system has

turned off the right front passenger’s frontal

airbag, no system is fail-safe. No one can

guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under

some unusual circumstance, even though it is

turned off. Rear-facing child restraints should

be secured in a rear seat, even if the airbag

is off.

If you secure a forward-facing child restraint in

the right front seat, always move the front

passenger seat as far back as it will go. It is

better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat.

If your vehicle does not have a rear seat that will

accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, we

recommend that rear-facing child restraints not be

transported in your vehicle, even if the airbag is off.

The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off

the right front passenger’s frontal airbag if:

• The right front passenger seat is unoccupied.

• The system determines that an infant is present in

a rear-facing infant seat.

• The system determines that a small child is present

in a child restraint.

• The system determines that a small child is present

in a booster seat.

• A right front passenger takes his/her 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 airbag

system or the passenger sensing system.

When the passenger sensing system has turned off the

right front passenger’s frontal airbag, the off indicator

will light and stay lit to remind you that the airbag is off.

See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 3-43.
