or either the on or off symbol, to let
you know the status of the right front
passenger frontal and seat-mounted
side impact airbag (if equipped).

If the words PASSENGER AIRBAG
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 (if equipped) is
enabled (may inflate).

If the words PASSENGER AIRBAG
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 airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag
(if equipped).

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 for service.

WARNING

If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right
away. See Airbag Readiness
Light on page 5‑12
for more
information, including important
safety information.

Charging System Light

This light will come on briefly when
the ignition is turned on, and the
engine is not running, as a check to
show it is working.

It should go out when the engine is
started. If it stays on, or comes on
while driving, there may have a
problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked by your
dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery. If a short
distance must be driven with the
light on, turn off all accessories,
such as the radio and air conditioner
to help reduce the drain on the
battery.
