The "AIRBAG OFF" indicator lights will be illuminated
when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position and a child
or child restraint system is in the front passenger seat (see
table condition 2). This indicates that in the event of a
severe frontal or passenger's side impact, the front
passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger
seat are deactivated and will not deploy.
If the front passenger occupant classification system
determines that a person of adult size sits in the front
passenger seat but the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light is
illuminated, one of the following is likely to have occurred:
D The rear passenger lifts the front passenger seat cushion
with their legs.
D Objects are placed under the front passenger seat.
D A front passenger seat seatback is in contact with a rear
seat.
To ensure the system correctly detects an adult sitting in the
front passenger seat, make sure the above do not occur.
Make sure the "AIRBAG ON" indicator light is illuminated when
an adult sits in the front passenger seat. If the "AIRBAG OFF"
indicator light is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up
straight, well back in the seat, and with the seat belt worn
correctly. If the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light still remains
illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat,
or if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully
rearward.
