Passenger Airbag Status

Indicator

If the vehicle has the airbag status
indicator pictured in the following
illustration, then the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for the
right front passenger position. The
passenger airbag status indicator is
on the overhead console. See
Passenger Sensing System on
page 3-39 for important safety
information.
In addition, if the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for the
right front passenger position, the
label on the vehicle's sun visors
refers to ADVANCED AIRBAGS.
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light the symbols for on and off,
for several seconds as a system
check. If you are using remote start,
if equipped, to start the vehicle from
a distance, you may not see the
system check.
Then, after several more seconds,
the status indicator will light either
the on or off symbol to let you know
the status of the right front
passenger frontal airbag.
If the on symbol is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the right front passenger
frontal airbag is enabled (may
inflate).
Black plate (16,1)
If the off symbol is lit on the airbag
status indicator, it means that the
passenger sensing system has
turned off the right front passenger
frontal airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there
are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the
passenger sensing system. See
your dealer for service.
