INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING If the on indicator comes on when you have a rear-facing child restraint installed in the right front passenger's seat, it means that the passenger sensing system has not turned off the passenger's frontal airbag. A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger's airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger's seat if the airbag is turned on. the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger's frontal airbag. Refer to "Passenger Sensing System" in "Airbag System" in the "Seats and Restraint Systems" section for more on this, including important safety information. If, after several seconds, both status indicator lights remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be a problem with the lights or the passenger sensing system. See your dealer for service. Charging System Light 812700 WARNING If the airbag readiness light in the instrument panel cluster ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. If this ever happens, have the vehicle serviced promptly, because an adult-size person sitting in the right front passenger's seat may not have the protection of the airbag(s). Refer to "Airbag Readiness Light" in this section for more on this, including important safety information. WARNING Even though the passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the right front passenger's frontal airbag if the system detects a rear-facing child restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under some unusual circumstance, even though it is turned off. We recommend that rear-facing child restraints be secured in the rear seat, even if the airbag is off. If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the airbag status indicator, it means that If this light comes on while you are driving, you may have a problem with the charging system. A charging system Driver Information Center (DIC) message may also appear. Refer to "DIC Warnings and Messages" in this section for more information. This light could indicate that you have problems with a generator drive belt or another electrical problem. Have it cheeked right away. If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner. 3-18
