How the Passenger Airbag Off
Indicator Works
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR
This indicator alerts you that the
passenger's front airbag has been
shut off because sensors detect the
weight of an infant or small child on
the front passenger's seat. It does
not mean there is a problem with
the airbag.
Additional Information About Your Airbags
If no one is riding in the front seat,
the airbag will be automatically shut
off, but the indicator will not come
on.
However, if the indicator 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 go off
repeatedly if total weight on the seat
is near the airbag cutoff threshold.
If this happens, have the passenger
ride properly restrained in a back
seat. If the passenger must ride in
front, move the seat as far to the
rear as possible, have the passenger
sit upright, and wear the seat belt
properly.
