Air bags help protect the driver and right front-seat passenger in certain collisions by supplementing the protection provided by safety belts. The Passenger Sensing System automatically switches the right-front passenger frontal air bag on or off based on the passenger's weight and the type of pressure on the seat.
Always use safety belts and the correct child restraint for your child's age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active frontal air bag. See the vehicle Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more information.
The antilock brake system (ABS) is designed to help drivers maintain steering control by reducing wheel lockup during hard braking on most slippery or dry surfaces.
As an added security feature, if an attempt is made to start your vehicle without the properly coded key, the PASSlock theft-deterrent system temporarily disables the fuel system, making the engine impossible to start.
