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 sensing system has turned off
the passenger’s frontal airbag, 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 1-49.

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 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.
