Additional Information About Your Airbags
A front seat passenger should not
use a cushion or other object as a
backrest. It may prevent the cutoff
system from working properly.
When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), the indicator should come
on briefly and go out (see page
If it doesn't light, stays on, or comes
on while driving without a passenger
in the front seat, have the system
checked.

).
This indicator alerts you that the
passenger's front airbag has been
shut off. It does not mean there is a
problem with the airbag.
To reduce the chance of airbag-
caused injuries, the system shuts off
the passenger's front airbag when
the total weight on the front
passenger's seat is about 65 lbs
(30 kg) or less.
If no one is riding in the front
passenger's seat, the airbag will be
automatically shut off, but the
indicator light will not come on.
However, if the light comes on with
no passenger in the front, or with an
adult in the seat, there may be a
problem with the advanced airbag
system. Have the vehicle checked by
the dealer as soon as possible.
The Passenger Airbag Off indicator
may also come on and off repeatedly
if total weight on the seat is near the
airbag cutoff threshold (65 lbs or 30
kg).
