56 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
The PAD indicator light should not be illuminated when
an adult passenger is properly seated in the front passen-
ger seat. The driver and adult passenger should verify
that the PAD Indicator Light is not illuminated when an
adult is riding in the front passenger seat. If an adult is
not seated properly, the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag may deactivate and the PAD Indicator Light will be
illuminated.
The PAD Indicator Light should be illuminated and the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag should be deactivated
for most properly seated and restrained children in the
passenger seat and for most properly installed child
restraint systems. However, under certain conditions,
even with a properly installed child restraint system, the
PAD Indicator Light may not be illuminated, even
though the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is deacti-
vated. This can occur if the child restraint is lighter than
the lightest weight necessary to illuminate the PAD
Indicator Light. NEVER assume the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag is deactivated unless the PAD Indicator
Light is illuminated with the words "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF."
If the PAD Indicator Light is Illuminated for an Adult
Passenger:
If an adult passenger is seated in the front passenger seat
and the PAD Indicator Light is illuminated, the passenger
may be sitting improperly. Follow the steps below to
allow the OCS to detect the adult passenger's seated
weight to activate the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag:
1. Turn off the vehicle and have the adult passenger step
out of the vehicle.
2. Remove any extra materials from the passenger seat,
such as cushions, pads, seat covers, seat massagers,
blankets, extra clothing, etc.
3. Place the seatback in the full upright position.
