The passenger sensing system, if equipped, turns off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag under certain conditions. No other airbag is affected by the passenger sensing system.
If the vehicle has one of the indicators pictured in the following illustrations, then the vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the front outboard passenger position unless there is an airbag off switch on the instrument panel endcap.
If there is an airbag off switch, the vehicle does not have a passenger sensing system. See Airbag On-Off Switch on page 3-27 for more information.
The passenger airbag status indicator will be visible on the overhead console when the vehicle is started.
See Passenger Sensing System on page 3-29 for important information.
