Seats and Restraints

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.

The passenger sensing system
may or may not turn off the
airbag for a child in a child
restraint depending upon the
child’s seating posture and
body build. It is better to secure
the child restraint in a rear seat.

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:

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.
