Owner's Manual

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’s
frontal air bag, 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 air bag
for that person.
If a person of adult-size is sitting in the right front
passenger’s seat, but the
off indicator is lit, it could be
because that person isn’t sitting properly in the seat.
If this happens, turn the vehicle off and ask the person
to place the seatback in the full upright position, then
sit upright
in the seat, centered on the seat cushion,
with the person’s legs comfortably extended.Restart the
vehicle and have the person remain in this position
for about two minutes. This
will allow the system
to detect that person and then enable the passenger’s
air bag.
