Failure to follow these instructions may interfere with the front passenger sensing system. Any alteration or modification to the front passenger seat may affect the performance of the front passenger sensing system. This system works with sensors that are part of the front passenger seat and safety belt to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant and determine if the front passenger frontal airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or not.

Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of injury in a crash. FRONT PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM WARNINGS Even with Advanced Restraints Systems, children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position. Failure to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury or death. Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion and affect the decision of the front passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in a crash.

E142846

Children must always be properly

restrained. Accident statistics suggest that

children are safer when properly restrained

in the rear seating positions than in the

front seating position. Failure to follow

these instructions may increase the risk of

injury in a crash.

FRONT PASSENGER SENSING

SYSTEM

WARNINGS

Even with Advanced Restraints

Systems, children 12 and under

should be properly restrained in a

rear seating position. Failure to follow this

could seriously increase the risk of injury or

death.

Sitting improperly out of position or

with the seat back reclined too far

can take off weight from the seat

cushion and affect the decision of the front

passenger sensing system, resulting in

serious injury or death in a crash. Always

sit upright against your seatback, with your

feet on the floor.

WARNINGS

To reduce the risk of possible serious

injury: Do not stow objects in

seatback map pocket or hang

objects off seatback if a child is in the front

passenger seat. Do not place objects

underneath the front passenger seat or

between the seat and the center console.

Check the passenger airbag off indicator

lamp for proper airbag status. Failure to

follow these instructions may interfere with

the front passenger sensing system.

Any alteration or modification to the

front passenger seat may affect the

performance of the front passenger

sensing system.

This system works with sensors that are

part of the front passenger seat and safety

belt to detect the presence of a

properly-seated occupant and determine

if the front passenger frontal airbag should

be enabled (may inflate) or not.

E179527

The front passenger sensing system uses

a passenger airbag off indicator which will

illuminate and stay lit to remind you that

the front passenger frontal airbag is

disabled.

The indicator lamp is located on the

overhead console.

Note:

When the ignition is first tuned on,

the indicator lamp will illuminate for a short

period of time to confirm it is functional.
