4. Reinstall the child restraint

following the directions provided
by the child restraint
manufacturer and refer to
Securing Child Restraints (Rear
Seat) on page 3‑55
or Securing
Child Restraints (Front
Passenger Seat) on page 3‑57
.

5. If, after reinstalling the child

restraint and restarting the
vehicle, the on indicator is still lit,
turn the vehicle off. Then slightly
recline the vehicle seatback and
adjust the seat cushion,
if adjustable, to make sure that
the vehicle seatback is not
pushing the child restraint into
the seat cushion.

Also make sure the child
restraint is not trapped under the
vehicle head restraint. If this
happens, adjust the head
restraint. See Head Restraints
on page 3‑2
.

6. Restart the vehicle.

If the on indicator is still lit with
an infant present in a child
restraint, secure the child
restraint in a rear seat position in
the vehicle and see your dealer.

If the Off Indicator is Lit for an
Adult-Size Occupant

If a person of adult-size is sitting in
the right front passenger seat, but
the off indicator is lit, it could be
because that person is not sitting
properly in the seat. If this happens,
use the following steps to allow the
system to detect that person and

enable the right front passenger
frontal airbag and seat-mounted
side impact airbag:

1. Turn the vehicle off.

2. Remove any additional material

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

3. Place the seatback in the fully

upright position.

4. Have the person sit upright in

the seat, centered on the seat
cushion, with legs comfortably
extended.

5. Restart the vehicle and have the

person remain in this position for
two to three minutes after the on
indicator is lit.
