See "Child Restraints" later in this section. SYSTEM OPERATION WITH ADULT PASSENGERS When the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting in the right front passenger seat, the front passenger's air bags will be activated and the "on" indicator will appear in the passenger sensing system status bar. In order for the system to correctly assess the status of the right front passenger’s air bag, the passenger must sit properly in the seat. To maintain the correct seating position, especially during vehicle maneuvers and braking, the passenger should wear the safety belt. Be sure the safety belt is adjusted properly at all times. See "Safety Belts" earlier in this section for additional safety belt instructions and safety information. If the passenger sensing system does not recognize that a person of adult size is sitting in the seat, turn the vehicle off. A thick layer of material (such as a blanket) or aftermarket equipment (such as seat covers, heaters or massagers) can affect how the passenger sensing system operates. Remove any additional material from the seat. . . . 206

Make sure the passenger sits in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion with his/her legs comfortably extended. Restart the vehicle. This should allow the system to detect the person and enable the passenger’s air bag. It may take about two to three minutes for the system to detect the passenger and enable the passenger’s air bag. PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF INDICATOR When you start the vehicle, the system will perform a self-check. The air bag "on" and "off" indicators will appear briefly in the passenger sensing system status bar (located on the overhead console). When the system self-check is complete, one of the indicators will stay on to indicate whether the right front passenger's frontal air bag is on or off. If the two indicators never appear when the vehicle is first started, or if after several seconds both indicators remain lit, there may be a problem with the system. See your dealer for service. The "on" indicator light may illuminate if an object, such as a briefcase, handbag, or grocery bag, is put on the front passenger’s seat. Remove the object to turn off the indicator light. – – 207 . . .
