HONDA 2004 Civic Sedan - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 30)

(On models equipped)
This light alerts you that
the passenger’s side airbag
has been automatically shut off. It
does
mean there is a problem
with your side airbags.
To reduce the risk of injury from an
inflating side airbag, your vehicle has
an automatic cutoff system for the
passenger’s side airbag.
Although Honda does not encourage
children to ride in front, this system
is designed to shut off the side
airbag if a child leans sideways and
the child’s head is in the side airbag
deployment path.
If a short adult leans sideways, or a
larger adult slouches and leans
sideways into the side airbag
deployment path, the system may
also shut off the side airbag.
When you turn the ignition to ON
(II), the indicator should light briefly
and go out. If it doesn’t light, it stays
on or comes on while driving without
a passenger in the front seat, have
the system checked.
