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 forward-facing 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’s frontal airbag has been turned

off by the passenger sensing system, the off indicator on

the instrument panel will light and stay lit to remind you

that the airbag is off.

If a child restraint has been installed and the on

indicator is lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove the child

restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the child restraint

following the child restraint manufacturer’s directions

and refer to Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front

Seat Position on page 1-59.

If after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the

vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to make

sure that the vehicle’s seatback is not pressing the child

restraint into the seat cushion. If this happens, slightly

recline the vehicle’s seatback and adjust the seat

cushion if possible. Also make sure the child restraint is

not trapped under the vehicle head restraint. If this

happens, adjust the head restraint.

If the on indicator is still lit, secure the child in the child

restraint in a rear seat position in the vehicle if one

is available and check with your dealer.

The passenger sensing system is designed to enable

(may inﬂate) the right front passenger’s frontal airbag

anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is

sitting properly in the right front passenger’s seat.

When the passenger sensing system has allowed the

airbag to be enabled, the on indicator will light and stay

lit to remind you that the airbag is active.

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 airbag, 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 airbag for

that person.
