48 Supplementary Restraints System
The indicator lamp is located under the climate controls. The indicator
lamp will illuminate for a short period of time when the ignition is turned
to the on position to confirm it is functional.
Note: When the passenger airbag off light is illuminated, the passenger
(seat mounted) side airbag may be disabled to avoid the risk of airbag
deployment injuries.
If the child restraint has been installed and the indicator lamp is not lit, then
turn the vehicle off, remove the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall
the restraint following the child restraint manufacturer's instructions.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger's seat, but the
pass airbag off indicator lamp is lit, it is possible that the person isn't
sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:
• Turn the vehicle off and ask the person to place the seat back in the
full upright position.
• Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion,
with the person's legs comfortably extended.
• Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for
about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person
and enable the passenger's frontal airbag.
• If the indicator lamp remains lit even after this, the person should be
advised to ride in the rear seat.
The pass airbag off lamp will operate according to the table below.

The front passenger sensing system may detect small or medium objects
placed on the seat cushion. For most objects that are in the front
passenger seat, the passenger airbag will be disabled. Even though the
passenger airbag is disabled, the pass airbag off lamp may or may not be
illuminated.
