PASSENGER AIRBAG

E151127

The passenger airbag will deploy during

significant frontal or near-frontal collisions.

The airbag will inflate within a few

thousandths of a second and deflate on

contact with the occupant, thus cushioning

forward body movement. During minor

frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions

and side collisions, the front passenger

airbag will not deploy.

FRONT PASSENGER SENSING

SYSTEM

WARNING

NEVER use a rearward facing child

restraint on a seat protected by an

ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH

or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can

occur.

E212161

WARNINGS

Even with Advanced Restraints

Systems, the rear seats are the

safest place for children.

Sitting improperly, out of position or

with the seatback reclined too far

can take weight off the seat cushion

and affect the decision of the passenger

sensing system, resulting in serious injury

or death in the event of a crash. Always sit

upright against your seat back, with your

feet on the floor.

Do not stow objects in the seatback

map pocket or hang objects off a

seatback if a child is in the front

passenger seat. Do not place objects under

the front passenger seat or between the

seat and the center console. Check the

passenger airbag indicator lamp for proper

airbag status. Failure to follow these

instructions may interfere with the front

passenger seat sensing system and

increase the risk of serious injury.

Any alteration or modification to the

front passenger seat may affect the

performance of the front passenger

sensing system. This could seriously

increase the risk of injury or death.

Supplementary Restraints System

This system works with sensors that are

part of the front passenger seat and

seatbelt to detect the presence of a

properly-seated occupant and determine

if the front passenger frontal airbag should

be enabled (may inflate) or not.

E253573

The front passenger sensing system uses

a passenger airbag status indicator that

illuminates indicating that the front

passenger frontal airbag is either on

(enabled) or off (disabled).

The indicator lamp is on the overhead

console.

Note: The passenger airbag status indicator

lamps illuminate for a short period of time

when you first switch the ignition on to

confirm it is functional.

The front passenger sensing system is

designed to disable (will not inflate) the

front passenger frontal airbag when the

front passenger seat is unoccupied, or a

rear facing infant seat, a forward-facing

child restraint, or a booster seat is

detected. Even with this technology,

parents are strongly encouraged to

always properly restrain children in the rear

seat.

• When the front passenger sensing

system disables (will not inflate) the

front passenger frontal airbag, the

passenger airbag status indicator

illuminates the off lamp and stays lit

to remind you that the front passenger

frontal airbag is disabled.

• If you install the child restraint and the

passenger airbag status indicator

illuminates the on lamp, then switch

the vehicle off, remove the child

restraint from the vehicle and reinstall

the restraint following the child

restraint manufacturer's instructions.

The front passenger sensing system is

designed to enable (may inflate) the front

passenger frontal airbag anytime the

system senses that a person of adult size

is sitting properly in the front passenger

seat.

• When the front passenger sensing

system enables the front passenger

frontal airbag (may inflate), the

passenger airbag status indicator

illuminates the on lamp and remains

illuminated.

If a person of adult size is sitting in the front

passenger seat, but the airbag off indicator

lamp is lit, it is possible that the person is

not sitting properly in the seat. If this

happens:

• Switch the vehicle off and ask the

person to place the seatback in the full

upright position.

• Have the person 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 allows the system to

detect that person and enable the

passenger frontal airbag.

• If the indicator off lamp remains lit

even after this, advise the person to

ride in the rear seat.

After all occupants have adjusted their

seats and put on seatbelts, it is very

important that they continue to sit

properly. A properly seated occupant sits

upright, leaning against the seatback, and

centered on the seat cushion, with their

feet comfortably extended on the floor.

Sitting improperly can increase the chance

of injury in a crash event. For example, if

an occupant slouches, lies down, turns

sideways, sits forward, leans forward or

sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the

chance of injury during a crash greatly

increases.

If you think that the status of the passenger

airbag off indicator lamp is incorrect, check

for the following:

• Objects lodged underneath the seat.

• Objects between the seat cushion and

the center console.

• Objects hanging off the seatback.

• Objects stowed in the seatback map

pocket.

• Objects placed on the occupant's lap.

• Cargo interference with the seat.

• Other passengers pushing or pulling on

the seat.

• Rear passenger feet and knees resting

or pushing on the seat.

The conditions listed above may cause the

weight of a properly seated occupant to

be incorrectly interpreted by the front

passenger sensing system. The person in

the front passenger seat may appear

heavier or lighter due to the conditions

described in the list above.

E67017

Make sure the front passenger

sensing system is operating

properly. See Crash Sensors

and Airbag Indicator (page 25).

If the airbag readiness light is lit, do the

following:

The driver and adult passengers should

check for objects lodged underneath the

front passenger seat, or cargo interfering

with the seat.

If there are lodged objects, or cargo is

interfering with the seat, take the following

steps to remove the obstruction:

• Pull the vehicle over.

• Switch the vehicle off.

• Driver and adult passengers should

check for any objects lodged

underneath the front passenger seat

or cargo interfering with the seat.

• Remove the obstruction(s) (if found).

• Restart the vehicle.

• Wait at least two minutes and verify

that the airbag readiness light is no

longer illuminated.

• If the airbag readiness light remains

illuminated, this may or may not be a

problem due to the front passenger

sensing system.

Do not attempt to repair or service the

system. Take your vehicle immediately to

an authorized dealer.

SIDE AIRBAGS

WARNING

Use seat covers designed for seats

with side airbags. Have these fitted

by an authorized dealer.

The airbags are located inside the

seatback of the front seats. There is a label

attached to the side of the seatback to

indicate this.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER

KNEE AIRBAGS

WARNINGS

To reduce risk of injury, do not

obstruct or place objects in the

deployment path of the airbag.

Close the glove box door when your

vehicle is moving. Failure to follow

this instruction could reduce the

effectiveness of the passenger knee airbag

and increase the risk of injury in a crash.

A driver knee airbag is located under or

within the instrument panel. A passenger

knee airbag is located within or under the

glove box door. During a crash, the

restraints control module may activate the

driver and passenger knee airbags based

on crash severity and occupant conditions.
