SAFETY
Passenger Airbag Off Indicator
The indicator comes on to alert you that the front
passenger's front airbag has been turned off. This
occurs when the front passenger's weight sensors
detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an infant
or small child on the seat.
Infants and small children should always ride
properly restrained in a back seat.
Objects placed on the front passenger's seat can also cause the indicator to come
on.
If the front passenger's seat is empty, the passenger's front airbag will not deploy
and the indicator will not come on.
If the indicator comes on with no occupant or objects in the front passenger's
seat, something may be interfering with the weight sensors, such as:
• An object hanging on the seat or in the seat-back pocket.
• A child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.
• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger's seat.
• The front seat or seat-back is forced against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
• An object placed under the front passenger's seat.
If none of these conditions exist, have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as
possible.
The passenger airbag off indicator may go on and off repeatedly if the total
weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.
