WARNING:

A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger airbag inflates. This is because the
back of the rear-facing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right front passenger airbag
inflates and the passenger seat is in a forward
position.

Even if the passenger sensing system has turned
off the right front passenger frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped), no
system is fail-safe. No one can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though the airbag(s) are off.

Secure rear-facing child restraints in a rear seat,
even if the airbag(s) are off. If you 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.

The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off
the right front passenger airbag and seat-mounted
side impact 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 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, the off indicator will light and stay lit
to remind you that the airbags are off. See Passenger
Airbag Status Indicator
on page 4-26.
