●Automatic front seat belt
tensioners (see page 20).
● Sensors that can detect a moderate
to severe front impact or sideimpact.
● Sensors that can detect whether a
child is in the passenger's side
airbag path and signal the control
unit to turn the airbag off (see
page 29).
● Sensors that can detect whether
the driver's seat belt and the front
passenger's seat belt are latched or
unlatched (see page 18).
● A driver's seat position sensor that
monitors the distance of the seat
from the front airbag. If the seat is
too far forward, the airbag will
inflate with less force (see page27). ●
Weight sensors that monitor the
weight on the front passenger's
seat. If the weight is about 65 lbs
(29 kg) or less (the weight of an
infant or small child), the
passenger's front airbag will be
turned off (see page 27).
● A sophisticated electronic system
that continually monitors and
records information about the
sensors, the control unit, the
airbag activators, the seat belt
tensioners, and driver and front
passenger seat belt use when the
ignition switch is in the ON (II)position.
● An indicator on the instrument
panel that alerts you to a possible
problem with your airbags,
sensors, or seat belt tensioners
(see page 30). ●
An indicator on the instrument
panel that alerts you that the
passenger's side airbag has been
turned off (see page 31).
● An indicator on the dashboard that
alerts you that the passenger's
front airbag has been turned off
(see page 31).
● Emergency backup power in case
your vehicle's electrical system is
disconnected in a crash.

Table of Contents

When the passenger airbag gets
turned off by the weight sensors, a‘‘passenger airbag off ’’indicator in
the center of the dashboard comes
on (see page 31).
If the weight sensors detect there is
no passenger in the front seat, the
airbag is automatically turned off.
However, the passenger airbag off
indicator in this situation will not
come on.
To ensure that the passenger's
advanced front airbag system will
work properly,
do not do anything
that would increase or decrease the weight on the front passenger's seat.
This includes:
● A rear passenger pushing or
pulling on the back of the front
passenger's seat. ●
Moving the front seat forcibly back
against cargo on the seat or floor
behind it.
● Hanging heavy items on the front
passenger seat, or placing heavy
items in the seat-back pocket.
● Moving the front seat or seat-back
forcibly back against the folded
rear seat.
● Back seat passengers should not
wedge objects or intentionally
force their feet under the front
passenger seat.
If your vehicle has optional floor
mats, make sure the mat behind the
driver's seat is hooked to the floor
mat anchor (see page 267). If it is
not, the mat may interfere with the
proper operation of the sensors and
operation of the seat. How Your Side Airbags Work
If you ever have a moderate to severe
side impact, sensors will detect rapid
acceleration and signal the control
unit to instantly inflate either the
driver's or the passenger's sideairbag.
