The system detects a person who is generally adult size as an adult, thus allowing the pas-
senger airbag to deploy.When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may
detect their body shape as that of a child, thus preventing airbag deployment.

If the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF"
indicator illuminates, the front pas-
senger airbag will not deploy in
either a side or frontal collision.
If the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF"
indicator is not illuminated, the front
passenger airbag may deploy in
frontal collision.

When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat,
the system may recognize him/her as an adult depending on his/her body shape or seating
position, thus permitting airbag deployment.
CAUTION
If the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator illuminates or blinks con-
tinuously when a person of adult size sits in the front passenger's
seat , it could be because that person isn't sitting properly in the
seat.If this happens, turn the vehicle off, make sure the seat back is
not reclined, have the passenger center on the seat cushion, with legs
comfortably extended, and the safety belt properly positioned. Restart
the vehicle and have the person remain in this position long enough
to allow the system to detect the person and activate the passenger
airbag.
