Seats and Restraints 3-33
The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the right front
passenger frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag
(if equipped) 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 frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag
(if equipped), the off indicator will
light and stay lit to remind you that
the airbag or airbags are off. See
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 5‑12.
The passenger sensing system is
designed to enable (may inflate) the
right front passenger frontal airbag
and seat-mounted side impact
airbag (if equipped) anytime the
system senses that a person of
adult size is sitting properly in the
right front passenger seat. When the
passenger sensing system has
allowed the airbag or airbags to be
enabled, the on symbol will light and
stay lit to remind you that the airbag
or 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 right front passenger frontal
airbag and seat-mounted side
impact airbag (if equipped),
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.

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 5‑12 for more
information, including important
safety information.
