How the Passenger Airbag Cutoff
Indicator Works
PASSENGER AIRBAG CUTOFF
INDICATOR
This light alerts you that the front
passenger's airbag is shut off.

Driver and Passenger Safety
If the light is on, it does not mean
there is a problem with the front
passenger's airbag. If there is a
problem in the weight sensors, the
SRS indicator in the instrument
panel comes on. In this case, the
passenger airbag cutoff indicator
turns off, and the front passenger's
airbag will inflate during a crash.
To reduce the chance of airbag-
caused injuries, the system shuts off
the front passenger's airbag when
the total weight on the front
passenger's seat is about 65 lbs
(30 kg) or less. The passenger
airbag cutoff indicator comes on to
remind you the front passenger's
airbag will not inflate during a crash.
If there is no passenger in the front
passenger's seat, this indicator does
not come on, however the system
shuts off the front passenger's
airbag.
If this indicator comes on with no
passenger in the front passenger's
seat, or with an adult in the seat,
there may be a problem in the
advanced airbag system. Have the
vehicle checked by the dealer as
soon as possible.
This indicator may come on or off
repeatedly, if some objects are put
on the front passenger's seat, or if
the temperature of the vehicle's
interior changes suddenly when a
door is opened.
