When the vehicle is first started, all vehicle
airbags and the seat belt pretensioners are
automatically enabled. To manually turn off
the rollover detection system so that the
roof-rail airbags and the seat belt
pretensioners will not inflate during a
rollover event:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press and hold the rollover detection
disable button until a beep sounds. The
rollover detection system status indicator
in the overhead console will come on
and stay on when the rollover detection
system is turned off. See
Detection System Status Indicator
.
When the rollover detection system is
turned off, the roof-rail airbags and seat belt
pretensioners will not deploy in a rollover
event. The roof-rail airbags and seat belt
pretensioners will still deploy in moderate to
severe side and frontal impacts, and the seat
belt pretensioners will still deploy in a
moderate to severe rear impact.
To turn the rollover detection system back
on, turn the ignition off or press and hold
the rollover detection disable button until a
beep sounds. When the rollover detection
system is turned back on, the rollover
detection system status indicator in the
overhead console will turn off. See
Detection System Status Indicator
{
Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever comes
on and stays on, it means that
something may be wrong with the airbag
system. For example, the roof-rail airbags
could inflate even though the rollover
detection system is turned off.
If the airbag readiness light stays on,
have the vehicle serviced right away. See
Rollover Detection System Status Indicator
for more information, including
important safety information.
Passenger Sensing System
With Rollover Detection Disable
Without Rollover Detection Disable
The vehicle has a passenger sensing system
for the front outboard passenger position.
The passenger airbag status indicator will
light on the overhead console when the
vehicle is started.
The symbols for on and off, will be visible
during the system check. When the system
check is complete, either the symbol for on
or off, will be visible. See
.
The passenger sensing system turns off the
front outboard passenger frontal airbag
under certain conditions. No other airbag is
affected by the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with
sensors that are part of the front outboard
passenger seat and seat belt. The sensors
are designed to detect the presence of a
properly seated occupant and determine if
the front outboard passenger frontal airbag
should be allowed to inflate or not.
