Passenger Airbag Off Indicator
U.S. Canada
Children age 12 or under should always ride properly restrained in a back seat.
2 Child Safety P. 59
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on. If the indicator
is on, in the event of a crash the passenger's airbag will not deploy.
If the passenger's seat is empty, the passenger's airbag will not deploy and the
indicator will not come on.
When you set the power mode to ON, the indicator comes on and goes off a few
seconds later to indicate that system checks are being performed. After that, the
indicator comes on or off depending on the passenger's occupant classification.

When the passenger airbag off
indicator comes on
The indicator comes on to alert you that the
passenger's airbag has been turned off.
This occurs when the weight sensors
determine that a small child or infant is on the
passenger seat.

To ensure the passenger is detected properly, confirm
that:
•
The occupant is sitting in an upright position
wearing the seat belt properly and the seat-back is
not excessively reclined.
•
The occupant is not leaning against the door or
center console.
•
The occupant's feet are placed on the floor in front
of them.
•
There are no objects hanging from the front
passenger's seat.
•
Only small, lightweight objects are in the seat-back
pocket.
•
No liquid has been spilled on or under the seat.
•
There is no child seat or other object pressing
against the rear of the seat or seat-back.
•
There is no rear passenger pushing or pulling on
the back of the front passenger's seat.
•
There are no objects placed under or beside the
front passenger's seat. Improperly positioned
objects can interfere with the advanced airbag
sensors.

hooked to the floor mat anchor. An improperly
placed mat can interfere with the advanced airbag
sensors.
•
The head restraint is not contacting the roof.
