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 airbag should be enabled

(may inﬂate) or not.

Accident statistics show that children are safer if they

are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat.

We recommend that child restraints be secured in a rear

seat, including an infant riding in a rear-facing infant

seat, a child riding in a forward-facing child seat and an

older child riding in a booster seat.

If your vehicle has a rear seat that will accommodate a

rear-facing child restraint, there is a label on your

sun visor that 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 though the passenger sensing system is

designed to turn off the passenger’s frontal

airbag if the system detects a rear-facing child

restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one

can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy

under some unusual circumstance, even

though it is turned off. We recommend that

rear-facing child restraints be secured in the

rear seat, even if the airbag is off.

If you need to 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.
