Airbag System Indicators

If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator comes on and a
message appears on the Multi-Information Display.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Indicator

If the indicator comes on at any other
time besides vehicle start-up or does
not come on at all, have the system
checked by a dealer as soon as
possible. If you don't, your airbags and
seat belt tensioners may not work
properly when they are needed.
Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the
airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS
indicator alerts you to a possible problem.

Passenger Airbag Off Indicator

The indicator comes on to alert you
that the front passenger's front airbag
has been turned off. This occurs when
the front passenger's weight sensors
detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the
weight of an infant or small child, on
the seat.
Children age 12 or under should always
ride properly restrained in a back seat.
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on.
If the front passenger's seat is empty, the passenger's front airbag will not
deploy and the indicator will not come on.
If the indicator comes on with no occupant or objects in the front
passenger's seat, or with an adult riding there, something may be
interfering with the weight sensors, such as:
• An object hanging on the seat or in the seat-back pocket.
• A child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.

• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger's
seat.
• The front seat or seat-back is forced against an object on the seat or
floor behind it.
• An object placed under the front passenger's seat.
If none of these conditions exist, have your vehicle checked by a dealer as
soon as possible.
The passenger front airbag off indicator may come on and go off
repeatedly if the total weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff
threshold.
