CHECKING THE SEATBELTS
Check the seatbelts and child restraintsperiodically to make sure they work properlyand are not damaged. Make sure there areno nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if necessary.
Check the following seatbelt assemblies aftera crash.
•Retractors.
•Buckles.
•Front seatbelt buckle assemblies.
•Shoulder belt height adjusters.
•Shoulder belt guide on seat backrest.
•Child restraint LATCH and tether anchors.
•Attaching hardware.
Read the child restraint manufacturer'sinstructions for additional inspection andmaintenance information specific to the childrestraint.
We recommend that all seatbelt assembliesin use in vehicles involved in a crash bereplaced. However, if the crash was minorand an authorized dealer finds that the beltsdo not show damage and continue tooperate properly, they do not need to bereplaced. Seatbelt assemblies not in useduring a crash should also be checked andreplaced if either damage or improperoperation is noted.
Properly care for seatbelts. See CleaningSeatbelts (page 370).

Note:When you first switch the ignition on,the passenger airbag status indicator off andon lamps illuminate for a short period toconfirm they are functional.
The indicator lamps are in the overheadconsole.
The front passenger sensing system isdesigned to disable the front passengerfrontal airbag under these conditions:
•The front passenger seat is unoccupied.
•The system determines an infant ispresent in a child restraint.
•A passenger takes their weight off of theseat for a period of time.
•If there is a problem with the airbagsystem or the passenger sensing system.
Even with this technology, parents arestrongly encouraged to always properlyrestrain children in the rear seat.
•When the front passenger sensingsystem disables the front passengerfrontal airbag, the passenger airbagstatus indicator illuminates the off lamp.
•If you have installed the child restraintand the passenger airbag status indicatorilluminates the on lamp, switch yourvehicle off, remove the child restraintfrom your vehicle and reinstall therestraint following the child restraintmanufacturer's instructions.
The front passenger sensing system workswith sensors that are part of the frontpassenger seat and seatbelt. The sensorsare designed to detect the presence of aproperly seated occupant and determine ifthe front passenger frontal airbag should beenabled.
•When the front passenger sensingsystem enables the front passengerfrontal airbag, the passenger airbagstatus indicator illuminates the on lamp.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the frontpassenger seat, but the passenger airbagstatus indicator off lamp is illuminated, it ispossible that the person is not sittingproperly in the seat. If this happens:
•Switch your vehicle off and ask theperson to place the seat backrest in anupright position.
•Have the person sit upright in the seat,centered on the seat cushion, with theperson's legs comfortably extended.
•Restart your vehicle and have the personremain in this position for about twominutes. This allows the system to detectthat person and enable the passengerfrontal airbag.
•If the indicator off lamp remainsilluminated even after this, you shouldadvise the person to ride in the rear seat.
After all occupants have adjusted their seatsand put on seatbelts, it is very important thatthey continue to sit upright, leaning againstthe seat backrest, and centered on the seatcushion, with their feet comfortably extendedon the floor.

CRASH SENSORS AND AIRBAG
INDICATOR
WARNING: Modifying or addingequipment to the front of your vehiclecould affect the performance of the airbagsystem, increasing the risk of injury. Thisincludes the hood, bumper system, frame,front body structure, tow hooks, hood pins,push bar and snowplows.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash andoccupant sensors. These sensors provideinformation to the restraints control modulewhich activates the following:
•Front and rear seatbelt pretensioners.
•Driver airbag.
•Passenger airbag.
•Knee airbag(s).
•Seat mounted side airbags.
•Safety Canopy.
Based on the type of crash, the restraintscontrol module deploys the appropriatesafety devices.
The restraints control module also monitorsthe readiness of the above safety devicesplus the crash and occupant sensors. Thereadiness of the safety system is indicatedby a warning indicator light in the instrumentcluster or by a backup tone if the warninglight is not working. Routine maintenance ofthe airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated byone or more of the following:
The readiness light will notilluminate immediately after youswitch the ignition on.
•The readiness light either flashes or stayson.
•You hear a series of five tones. The tonepattern repeats periodically until theproblem, the light or both are repaired.
If any of these things happen, evenintermittently, have the supplementalrestraint system serviced immediately.Unless serviced, the system may not functionproperly in the event of a crash.
The fact that the seatbelt pretensioners orfront airbags did not activate for both frontseat occupants in a crash does not meanthat something is wrong with the system.Rather, it means the restraints control moduledetermined the accident conditions (crashseverity, seatbelt usage) were notappropriate to activate these safety devices.
•The front airbags activate only in frontaland near-frontal crashes. Front airbagsmay activate in rollovers, side impacts orrear impacts if the crash causes sufficientfrontal deceleration.
•The seatbelt pretensioners activate infrontal, near-frontal and side crashes, andin rollovers.
•The knee airbag(s) deploy based oncrash severity and occupant conditions.
