60 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
a collision. When the right front passenger seat is empty
or when very light objects are placed on the seat, the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will not inflate even
though the PAD indicator light is not illuminated.
The PAD indicator light should not be illuminated when
an adult passenger is properly seated in the front passen-
ger seat. In this case, the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag is ready to be inflated if a collision requires Passen-
ger Advanced Front Air Bag deployment. Drivers and
adult passengers should verify that the PAD Indicator
Light is not illuminated when an adult is riding in the
front passenger seat. If an adult occupant's weight is
transferred to another part of the vehicle (like the door or
instrument panel), the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag may be deactivated and the PAD Indicator Light will
be illuminated.
The Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will be deacti-
vated for most any size child who is seated properly in
the passenger seat and for most properly installed child
restraint systems. However, under certain conditions,
even with a properly installed child restraint system, the
PAD Indicator Light may not be illuminated, even
though the Advanced Front Air Bag is deactivated. This
can occur if the child restraint is lighter than the thresh-
old weight necessary to illuminate the PAD Indicator
Light. In any case, DO NOT assume the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag is deactivated unless the PAD
Indicator Light is illuminated with the words "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF."
If the PAD Indicator Light is Illuminated for an Adult
Passenger:
If an adult passenger is seated in the passenger seat, but
the PAD Indicator Light is illuminated, the passenger
may be sitting improperly. Follow the steps below to
allow the OCS to detect the adult passenger's total seated
weight to activate the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag:
