Warning
If the airbag readiness light stays
on after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, it means
the airbag system might not be
working properly. The airbags in
the vehicle might not inflate in a
crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid
injury, have the vehicle serviced
right away.
Airbag On-Off Light
If the vehicle has an airbag on-off
switch, it also has a passenger
airbag status indicator located in the
instrument panel, above the
glove box.
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status off indicator
symbols for on and off will light for
several seconds as a system check.
When the front outboard passenger
airbag is manually turned off using
the airbag on-off switch on the
instrument panel endcap, the
indicator off symbol will come on
and stay on as a reminder that the
airbag has been turned off.
This light will go off when the airbag
has been turned back on. The belt
pretensioners and all the driver
airbag systems will remain active.
See Airbag On-Off Switch for more
information, including important
safety information.
{
Warning
If the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag is turned off for a
person who does not fall under
the conditions specified in this
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
manual, that person will not have
the extra protection of an airbag.
In a crash, the airbag will not be
able to inflate and help protect the
person sitting there. Do not turn
off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag unless the person
sitting there falls under the
conditions specified in this
manual.
{
Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. For
example, the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag could
inflate even though the airbag
on-off switch is turned off.
To help avoid injury to yourself or
others, have the vehicle serviced
right away. See Airbag Readiness
