Seats and Restraints

The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn on the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
and seat-mounted side impact
airbag anytime the system senses
that a person of adult size is sitting
properly in the front outboard
passenger seat.

When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the airbags to
be enabled, the on indicator will light
and stay lit as a reminder that the
airbags are 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 front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and seat-mounted
side impact airbag, depending
upon the person's seating
posture and body build.

Everyone in the vehicle who
has outgrown child restraints
should wear a safety belt
properly — whether or not there is
an airbag for that person.

WARNING

If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right
away. See Airbag Readiness
Light on page 5‑17
for more
information, including important
safety information.

If the On Indicator Is Lit for a
Child Restraint

If a child restraint has been installed
and the on indicator is lit:

1. Turn the vehicle off.

2. Remove the child restraint from

the vehicle.

3. Remove any additional items

from the seat such as blankets,
cushions, seat covers, seat
heaters, or seat massagers.

4. Reinstall the child restraint

following the directions
provided by the child restraint
manufacturer and refer to
Securing Child Restraints on
page 3‑40
