Knowing your vehicle
Condition and operation in the front passenger occupant
classification system
CAUTION
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator illuminates or
blinks continuously when a per-
son of adultsizesits in the front
passenger's seat, it could be
because that person isn'tsitting
properly in the seat. If this hap-
pens, turn the vehicle off, make
sure the seat back is not
reclined, have the passenger
center on theseat cushion, with
legs comfortably extended, and
the safety belt properly posi-
tioned. Restart the vehicle and
have the person remain in this
position long enough to allow
thesystem to detect the person
and activate the passenger air

The system detects a person who is generally adult size as an adult, thus allowing
the passenger air bag 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 air
bag deployment.

When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front pas-
senger seat, the system may recognize him/her as an adult depending on his/her
physique sitting posture, or objects in the lap of the occupant, thus permitting airbag
deployment.
