The Advanced Airbag System in your vehicle has
been certified to comply with the Requirements
of United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 208 as applicable at the time your vehi­
cle
was manufactured.
The
Standard requires the front airbag on the
passenger side to be turned off ("suppressed") if
a child up
to about one year of age restrained in
one of the rear-facing or forward-facing infant re­
straints listed in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 208 with which the Advanced Airbag
System in your vehicle was certified has been in­
stalled on the front passenger seat. For a listing
of the child restraints that were used to certify
compliance with the US Safety Standard
<=!>page 214.
The PA SSENGER AIR BAG OFF light in the over­
head console tells you when the front Advan ced
Airbag on the passenger side has been turned off
by the electronic control unit.
E ach ti
me you turn on the igni tion, the PASSEN­
GER
AIR BAG OFF l ight will come on fo r a few
seconds and:
- will stay on if the front passenger seat is not
occupied,
- will
stay on if the electrical capacitance meas­
u red by the capacitive passenger detection sys­
tem fo r th e fron t passenger seat equals the
combined capaci tance of an infant up to about
one year of age and one of the rearward-facing
or forward-facing child restraints listed in Fed­
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 with
which the Advanced Airbag System in your vehi­
cle
was certifi ed. For a listing of the child re­
straints that were used to certify your vehicle's
compliance with the U .S . Safety Standard

- will stay on if there is a small ch ild or child re­
straint on the front passenger seat,
- will go off if the front passenger seat is occu­
pied by
an adult as registered by the capacitive
passenger detection system<=!> page 199, Mon­
itoring the Advanced Airbag System.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on
when electrical capacitance registered on the
front passenger seat is equal to or less than the
190
combined capacitance of a typical 1 year-old in­
fant and one of the rearward-facing or forward­
facing child restraints listed in Federal Motor Ve­
hicle
Safety Standard 208 w ith which the Ad­
vanced Airbag
System in your vehicle was certi­
fied .
If the total electrica l capacitance registered on
the front passenger seat is more than that of a
typi ca l 1 year-old child but less than the weight
of a small adult, the front airbag on the passen­
ger side can deploy (the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF light does not come on).
If the PAS SENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on, the front airbag on the passenger side
has not been turned off by the electronic con trol
u
nit and can depl oy if the control unit senses an
impact that meets the conditions stored in its
memory .
For example, the airbag may deploy if:
- a small child that is heavier than a typical 1
year-old child is
on the front passenger seat
(regardless of whether the child is in one of the
child safety seats l isted<=:> page 214), or
- a child who has outgrown child restraints is on
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger airbag is turned off, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ligh t comes on in the
overhead console and stays on.
If the front passenger airbag deploys, the Feder­
al Standard requires the airbag to meet the "low
risk"
deployment criteria to reduce the r isk of in­
jury through interaction w ith the airbag. "Low
risk "
deployment occurs in those crashes that
take place at lower decelerations as defined in
the electronic co ntrol unit<=!> page 200, PASSEN­
G ER AIR BAG OFF light.
Always remember, a child seat or infant carrier
installed on the front seat may be struck and
k nocked out of positio n by the rapidly inflating
passenger's airbag i n a frontal collision. The a ir­
bag cou ld greatly reduce the effectiveness of the
child restraint and even seriously injure the child
d uring inflation .

for infants 12 months old and younger who are
restrained on the front passenger seat in child re­
straints that are listed in the Standard

airbag system.
"Suppression" requires the front airbag on the
passenger side to be turned off if:
- a child up
to about one year of age is restrained
on the front passenger seat in one of the rear­
facing
or forward-facing infant restraints listed
in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208

-When a person is detected on the front passen­
ger seat, weighing more than the total weight
of a child that is about 1 year old restrained in
one of the rear-facing or forward-facing infant
restraints (listed in Federal Motor Vehicle Safe­
ty Standard 208 with which the Advanced Air­
bag System in your vehicle was certified), the
front airbag on the passenger side may or may
not deploy.
The
PASSEN GER AIR BAG OFF light comes on
when the electronic control unit detects a total
electrical capacitance on the front passenger seat
that requires the front airbag to be turned off. If
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on, the front airbag on the passenger side
has not been turned off by the control un it and
can depl oy ifthe control unit senses an impact
that meets the conditions stored i n its memory.
If the total electrical capacitance registered on
the front passenger seat is more than that of a
typical 1 year-old,
but less than the weight of a
small adult, the front airbag on the passenger
side may deploy (the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
light does not come on).
For example, the airb ag may dep lo y if:
- a small child that is heavier than a typical 1
year-old child is
on the front passenger seat
(regardless of whether the child is in one of the
child seats listed ~page 214),

-a child who has outgrown child restraints is on
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger airbag is turned off, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light in the overhead
console will come on and stay on.
If the front passenger airbag deploys, the Feder­
al Standard requires the airbag to meet the "low
risk"
deployment criteria to help reduce the risk
of injury through interaction with the airbag.
"Low risk" deployment occurs in those crashes
that take place at lower decelerations as defined
in the electronic control unit ¢page 199.
Always remember: Even though your vehicle is
equipped with Advanced Airbags, the safest place
fo r childre n is properly restrained on the back
seat. Please be sure to read the important infor ­
mation in the sections that follow and be sure to
heed all of the WARNINGS.
A WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury when an airbag in­
flates, always wear safety belts properly.
-
If you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sit·
ting sideways or out of position in any way,
your risk of injury is much higher.
- You will
also receive serious injuries and
could even be killed if you are up against the
airbag or too close to it when it inflates -
even
with an Advanced Airbag~ page 188.
A WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing child seat instal­
led on the front passenger seat will be seri­
ously injured and can be killed if the front air­
bag inflates· even with an Advanced Airbag
System.
-Although the Advanced Airbag System in
your vehicle is designed to turn off the front
airbag when a rearward-facing child re­
straint has been installed on the front pas­
senger seat, nobody can absolutely guaran­
tee that deployment is impossible in all con­
ceivable situations that may happen during
the useful life of your vehicle.
- T
he inflating airbag will hit the child seat or
-
infant carrier with great force and will ~
