has a passenger airbag status indicator.
United States
When the vehicle is started, the passenger airbag status
indicator will light ON and OFF, or the symbol for on and
off, for several seconds as a system check. If you are
using remote start to start the vehicle from a distance,
if equipped, you may not see the system check. Then,
after several more seconds, the status indicator will light
either ON or OFF, or either the on or off symbol to let you
know the status of the right front passenger frontal and
seat-mounted side impact airbags.
3-34
If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that the right front
passenger frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact
airbag are enabled (may inflate).
If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that the passenger
sensing system has turned off the right front passenger
frontal and seat-mounted side impact 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/retailer for service.

yourself or others, have the vehicle serviced right
away. See Airbag Readiness Light on page 3-33
