The passenger airbag status
indicator will be visible on the
instrument panel when the vehicle is
started.

The words ON and OFF, or the
symbol for on and off, will be visible
during the system check. If you are
using remote start, if equipped, to
start the vehicle from a distance,
you may not see the system check.
When the system check is
complete, either the word ON or the
word OFF, or the symbol for on or
the symbol for off, will be visible.

The passenger sensing system will
turn off the right front passenger
frontal airbag under certain
conditions.
The driver airbag and roof-rail
airbags, if equipped, are not part of
the passenger sensing system.

The passenger sensing system
works with sensors that are part of
the right front passenger seat. The
sensors are designed to detect the
presence of a properly seated
occupant and determine if the
right front passenger frontal airbag
should be enabled (may inflate)
or not.

According to accident statistics,
Children are safer when properly
secured in a rear seat in the correct
child restraint for their weight
and size.
