Seats and Restraints If the On Indicator Is Lit for a Child Restraint The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the front outboard passenger 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 (Center Front Seat Position) on page 3-55 or Securing Child Restraints (Front Outboard Passenger Seat) on page 3-55 or Securing Child Restraints (Rear Seat) on page 3-64. Make sure the child restraint locking feature is set by pulling the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor before tightening the belt around the child seat. 3-33 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 on page 3-2. 6. Restart the vehicle. The passenger sensing system may or may not turn off the airbag 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.
