CAUTION: (Continued) Even though the passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the passenger's frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped) 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 transported in vehicles with a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, whenever possible. If you need to secure a forward-facing child restraint in the passenger's seat, always move the passenger's seat as far back as it will go. It is better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat. The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the passenger's frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped) if: • The passenger's seat is unoccupied. • The system determines that an infant is present in a rear-facing infant seat. • The system determines that a small child is present in a forward-facing child restraint. • The system determines that a small child is present in a booster seat. • A passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of time. • The passenger's seat is occupied by a smaller person, such as a child who has outgrown child restraints. • Or, if there is a critical problem with the airbag system or the passenger sensing system. When the passenger's frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped) have been turned off by the passenger sensing system, the off indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the airbags are off. 61
