Passenger Sensing System

Vehicles with a passenger sensing system

have indicator LEDs on the fascia. The indi-

cators will be lit during the system check

when you turn your ignition key to ST or ON.

When the system check is complete, either

the ON or the OFF LED, will be lit. See

AIRBAG warning light on page 61.

The passenger sensing system will turn off

the right front passenger’s frontal airbag

and side airbag under certain conditions.

The driver’s airbags is not part of the pas-

senger sensing system.

The passenger sensing system works with

sensors that are part of the right front pas-

senger’s seat and safety belt. The sensors

are designed to detect the presence of a

properly-seated occupant and determine if

the passenger’s frontal airbag should be

enabled (may inflate) or not.

Accident statistics show that children are

safer if they are restrained in the rear rather

than the front seat.

Saab recommends that child restraints be

secured in a rear seat, including an infant

riding in a rear-facing infant seat, a child

riding in a forward-facing child seat and an

older child riding in a booster seat.

Your vehicle has a rear seat that will accom-

modate a rear-facing child restraint. A label

on your sun visor says, “Never put a

rear-facing child seat in the front.” This is

because the risk to the rear-facing child is so

great, if the airbag deploys.
