Indicator Works

PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR
This indicator alerts you that the
passenger's front airbag has been
shut off because weight sensors
detect an infant or small child may
be in the front passenger's seat. It
does mean there is a problem
not
with the airbag.
Additional Information About Your Airbags
If no one is riding in the front seat,
the airbag will be automatically shut
off. However, the indicator will not
come on.
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
your 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.
If this happens, have the passenger
ride properly restrained in the 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.
