Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
If the vehicle has a passenger

status indicator. See

Sensing System on page 3 ‑ 35 for
important safety information.
United States
Canada and Mexico
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF, or the symbol
for on and off, for several seconds
as a system check. If you are
using remote start, if equipped, to
start the vehicle from a distance,
you may not see the system check.
Then, after several more seconds,
the status indicator will light either
ON or OFF, or either the on or
off symbol to let you know the
status of the right front passenger
frontal airbag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the right
front passenger frontal airbag is
enabled, and may inflate.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is
lit on the airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right front
passenger frontal airbag.
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.

away. See

Light on page 5 ‑ 18 for more
