It will not work with child seats which are not BabySmartTM compatible. Never place anything between seat cushion and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces the effectiveness of the deactivation system. The bottom of the child seat must make full contact with the passenger seat cushion.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation of special child seats. 1 When using a BabySmartTM compatible child seat on the front passenger seat, the passenger front airbag will not deploy only if the PASS.
