[. . . ] Because air bags must inflate rapidly and with considerable force, there is the risk of death or serious injuries such as fractures, facial and eye injuries or internal injuries, particularly to occupants who are not properly restrained or are otherwise out of position at the time of air bag deployment. Thus, it is extremely important that occupants be properly restrained as far away from the air bag module as possible while maintaining vehicle control. Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. If the air bag has deployed, the air bag will not function again and must be replaced immediately. If the air bag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. The SRS consists of: · driver and passenger air bag modules (which include the inflators and air bags). Refer to Side air bag system later in this chapter. · one or more impact and safing sensors. 145 Seating and Safety Restraints · diagnostic module. · and the electrical wiring which connects the components. The diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits and the supplemental air bag electrical system wiring (including the impact sensors), the system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the air bag back up power and the air bag ignitors. Front passenger sensing system The front passenger sensing system will turn off the front passenger's frontal air bag under certain conditions. The driver's air bag and side air bag are not part of the front passenger sensing system. The front passenger sensing system works with sensors that are part of the front passenger's seat and safety belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant and determine if the front passenger's frontal air bag should be enabled (may inflate) or not. The front passenger sensing system is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 and is designed to turn off the front passenger's frontal air bag if: · the front passenger seat is unoccupied, · an infant or small child weighing less than 50 pounds (23 kg) is in the front seat, either in a child restraint, in a booster seat, or sitting directly on the vehicle seat, · a front passenger takes his/her weight off the seat for a period of time For larger children and very small adults, the passenger sensing system may leave the air bag system enabled, or turn it OFF. The occupant's seating position may determine whether or not the air bag is enabled. Even with the front passenger sensing system, children 12 and under should be properly restrained in the back seat. 146 Seating and Safety Restraints When the front passenger seat is occupied and the sensing system has turned off the passenger's frontal air bag, the passenger airbag off or pass airbag off indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger frontal air bag is off. When the front passenger seat is not occupied (empty seat) or in the event that the front passenger frontal air bag is enabled (may inflate), the indicator light will be unlit. The indicator light is located in the center stack of the instrument panel to the right of the radio. The front passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the front passenger's frontal air bag when a rear facing infant seat, a forward-facing child restraint, or a booster seat is detected. If the child restraint has been installed and the indicator is not lit, then turn the vehicle off, remove the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the restraint following the child restraint manufacturer's directions.
