Airbag system
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF~; light in the
headliner tells you when the front Advanced Air
bag on the passenger side has been turned off by
the electronic control unit.
E ach time you turn on the ignition, the
PASSEN
GER AIR BAG OFF
"1; ON@ light will come on
for a few seconds and:
- PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; will come on if
the front passenger seat is not occupied,
-PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; will come on if
t h e e lectrica l capacitance measured by the ca
pacitive passenger detection system for the
front passenger seat equa ls the combined ca
pacitance of an infant up to about one year of
age and one of the rearward-facing or forward
facing child restraints listed in Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 208 w ith which the Ad
vanced Airbag System in your vehicle was certi
fied. For a listing of the ch ild restraints that
were used to cert ify your vehicle 's compliance
with the U.S. Safety Standard
¢page 218.
- PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF~; will come on if
there is a small child or ch ild rest raint on the
front passenger seat,
-PASSENGER AIR BAG ON @w ill go off if the
front passenger seat is occupied by an adult as
registered by the capacitive passenger detec
tion system ¢
page 205, Monitoring the Ad
vanced Airbag System .
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF~; light comes on
when electrical capacitance registered on t he
front passenger seat is equa l to or less than the
combined capacitance of a typica l 1 year -o ld in
fant and one of the rearward-facing or forward
facing ch ild restraints listed in Federal Motor Ve
h icle Safety Standard 208 with wh ich the Ad
vanced A irbag System in your vehicle was cert i
f ie d.
If the tota l electrical capac itance registered on
the front passenger seat is more than that of a
typical 1 year-old child but less than the we ight
of a small adult, the front a irbag on the passen
ge r side ca n deploy (the
PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF
"1; light does not come on).
If the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF "1; light does
not come on, the front a irbag on the passenger
196
side has not been turned off by the electronic
contro l unit and can deploy if the contro l unit
senses an impact that meets the conditions stor
ed in its memory.
For example , the airbag may deploy
if:
-a small c hild that is heav ier than a typica l 1
year-old child is on the front passenger seat
(regard less of whethe r the child is in one of the
child sa fety seats listed ¢
page 218), or
- a child who has outgrown child restraints is on
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger a irbag is turned off, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF~; light comes on in
the headliner and stays on.
If the front passenger airbag deploys, the Feder
al Standard requires the airbag to meet the "low
r isk" dep loyment cr iteria 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 e lectronic contro l unit ¢
page 206, PASSEN
GER AIR BAG
OFF~; ON~ light.
A lways remember, a child seat or infant carrier
installed on the front seat may be struck and
knocked out of position by the rapidly inflating
passenger's airbag in a frontal col lision. The air
bag could great ly reduce the effectiveness of the
c hi ld restraint and even ser iously injure the child
during inflat io n.
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.
- The inflat ing airbag will hit the child seat or
infant carrier with great force and will
smash the child seat and child against the
backrest, center armrest, door or roof.
- Forward-facing child seats installed on the
front passenger's seat may interfere with
the deployment of the airbag and cause se
r ious personal injury to the ch ild.
Cl 00 .-< N r-N .-< 0 r-Vl 00
A WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must in
stall a forward-facing child restraint on the
front passenger's seat:
- Always make sure the forward-fac ing seat
has been designed and certified by its man
ufacturer for use on a front seat with a pas
senger front and s ide a irbag.
- Never put the forward-facing child restraint
up against or ve ry near the instrument pan
el.
- Always move the front passenger seat to
the highest position in the up and down ad
justment range and move it back to the
re ar most position in the se at's fore and aft
adjustment range, as fa r away from the air
bag as possib le, before insta lling the for
ward-facing child restraint .
-Always make sure that the safety belt upper
anchorage is behind the child restraint and
not next to or in front of the chi ld restraint
so that the safety belt will be properly pos i
t ioned.
- Make sure that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF ~; light comes on and stays on a ll the
t ime whenever the ignition is switched on.
A WARNING
To red uce the risk of serious in jury, make s ure
that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; light
w ill be displayed whenever a child restra int is
installed on the front passenge r seat and the
ign ition is swi tched on.
-If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; light

A WARNING
--
If, in exceptional c ircumstances, you must in
stall a forward or rearward-facing child re
stra int on the fron t passenger 's seat :
- Imp roper installat ion of child restraints can
reduce the ir effectiveness or even prevent
them from providing any pro tect ion .
- An improperly installed child restra int can
interfere wi th the airbag as it deploys and
serio usly injure or even kil l the chi ld -even
wit h an Advanced A irbag System.
- Always carefully follow the manufacturer's
instr uctions provided with the child seat or
earner.
- Always make sure that there is noth ing on
the front passenge r seat tha t will cause the
capacitive p assenge r de te ction system in
the sea t to signal to the Airb ag System th at
the seat is occup ied by a person when i t is
not, or to signal that it is occupied by some
one who is heavier than the person actually
sitt ing on the seat. The presence of addi
tional objects could cause the passenger

Advanced Airbag System components
The front passenger seat in you r vehicle has a lot
of very impo rtant parts of the Advanced Airbag
Sys tem in it. These pa rts in cl ude the capaci tive
passenger detection system, w iring, brac kets,
and more. The control unit monitors the system
on the front passenger seat when the ignition is
switched on and turns the airbag indicator light
on when a malfunct ion in the one of the system
components is detected
¢ page 206. Because
the front passenger seat contains important
pa rts of the Advanced Airbag System, you must
take ca re to prevent it from be ing damaged .
D amage to the seat may p reve nt the Advanced
A irbag System fo r the fron t passenger seat from
doi ng its job in a crash.
The front Advanced Airbag System consists
of the following :
-Cr ash sensors in the front of the vehicle t hat
measure vehicle accelerat ion/dece lerat ion to
Airbag syste m
prov ide information to the Advanced A irbag
System about the severity of the cras h.
- An electronic contro l uni t, with integrated
cras h sensors for front and side impacts . The
control unit "decides" whether to fire the front
airbags based on the information rece ived from
the crash sensors . The control unit also "de
cides" whether the safety belt pretensioners
should be activated.
- An Advanced A irbag w it h gas generator for the
driver inside the steering wheel hub .
- An Advanced A irbag w ith gas generator inside
the instrument panel for the front passenger.
- A capacit ive passenger detection system under
neat h the front passenger seat cover. This sys
tem meas ures the e lectr ica l capacitance of the
person in the seat. The informat ion registered
is sent cont inuously to the elect ronic contro l
un it to reg ulate dep loymen t of the front Ad
vance d Airbag on the p assenger side.
- An airbag monitor ing system and ind icator
ligh t
El in the inst rument cl uste r.
- A sensor in each front seat registe rs the d is
t ance betwee n the respective seat and the
s teer ing whee l o r i nst rument p anel. The infor
mation registered is sent con tinuous ly to the
elect ronic contro l unit to regu late dep loyment
of the front Advanced Airbags .
- The
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; lig ht comes
on and stays on in the
headliner¢ page 206,
fig. 164 and tells you when the front Advanced
Airbag on the passenger side has been turned
off.
- A sensor in the safety be lt latch for the driver
and for the front seat passenger that senses
whether that safety be lt is latched or not and
transmits this information to the e lectronic
control un it .
A WARNING
-
Damage to the front passenge r seat can pre
vent the front airbag from wo rk ing prope rly.
- Imp roper repair or d isassembly of the front
