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 switch to
ON (II), the indicator should come
on briefly and go out (see page
).
If it doesn’t light, stays on, or comes
on while driving without a passenger
in the front seat, have the system
checked.
This indicator alerts you that the
passenger’s front airbag has been
shut off. It does not mean there is a
problem with the airbag.
To reduce the chance of airbag-
caused injuries, the system shuts off
the passenger’s front airbag when
the total weight on the front
passenger’s seat is about 65 lbs
(30 kg) or less.
If no one is riding in the front
passenger’s seat, the airbag will be
automatically shut off, but the
indicator will not come on.
However, if the indicator comes on
with no passenger in the front, or
with an adult in the seat, there may
be a problem with the advanced
airbag system. Have the vehicle
checked by the dealer as soon as
possible.
The Passenger Airbag Off indicator
may also come on and off repeatedly
if total weight on the seat is near the
airbag cutoff threshold (65 lbs or 30
kg).
