44 Seats and Restraints

For some children, including children in child

restraints, and for very small adults, the

passenger sensing system may or may not

turn off the front outboard passenger

frontal airbag and knee airbag, depending

upon the person's seating posture and body

build. Everyone in the vehicle who has

outgrown child restraints should wear a seat

belt properly — whether or not there is an

airbag for that person.

{

Warning

If the airbag readiness light ever comes

on and stays on, it means that

something may be wrong with the airbag

system. To help avoid injury to yourself

or others, have the vehicle serviced right

away. See Airbag Readiness Light 0 73 for

more information, including important

safety information.

If the On Indicator Is Lit for a Child

Restraint

The passenger sensing system is designed to

turn off the front outboard passenger

frontal airbag and knee airbag if the system

determines that an infant is present in a

child restraint. If a child restraint has been

installed and the ON indicator is lit:

1. Turn the vehicle off.

2. Remove the child restraint from the

vehicle.

3. Remove any additional items from the

seat such as blankets, cushions, seat

covers, seat heaters, or seat massagers.

4. Reinstall the child restraint following the

directions provided by the child restraint

manufacturer and refer to Securing Child

Restraints (With the Seat Belt in the Rear

Seat) 0 60 or

Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat

Belt in the Front Seat) 0 62.

5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint

and restarting the vehicle, the ON

indicator is still lit, turn the vehicle off.

Then slightly recline the vehicle seatback

and adjust the seat cushion,

if adjustable, to make sure that the

vehicle seatback is not pushing the child

restraint into the seat cushion. Also

make sure the child restraint is not

trapped under the vehicle head restraint.

If this happens, adjust the head restraint.

See Head Restraints 0 25.

6. Restart the vehicle.

The passenger sensing system may or may

not turn off the airbags for a child in a child

restraint depending upon the child’s size.

It is better to secure the child restraint in a

rear seat. Never put a rear-facing child

restraint in the front seat, even if the ON

indicator is not lit.

If the Off Indicator Is Lit for an

Adult-Sized Occupant

If a person of adult size is sitting in the

front outboard passenger seat, but the OFF

indicator is lit, it could be because that

person is not sitting properly in the seat or

that the child restraint locking feature is

engaged. Use the following steps to allow
