If you think that the status of the passenger airbag off indicator lamp is
incorrect, check for the following:
•
Objects lodged underneath the seat
•
Objects between the seat cushion and the center console (if
equipped)
•
Objects hanging off the seat back
•
Objects stowed in the seatback map pocket (if equipped)
•
Objects placed on the occupant’s lap
•
Cargo interference with the seat
•
Other passengers pushing or pulling on the seat
•
Rear passenger feet and knees resting or pushing on the seat
The conditions listed above may cause the weight of a properly seated
occupant to be incorrectly interpreted by the front passenger sensing
system. The person in the front passenger seat may appear heavier or
lighter due to the conditions described in the list above.
To know if the front passenger sensing system is operating
properly, refer to
Crash sensors and airbag indicator
later in
this chapter.
If the airbag readiness lamp is lit, do the following:
The driver or adult passengers should check for any objects that may be
lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the
seat.
If objects are lodged and/or cargo is interfering with the seat; please take
the following steps to remove the obstruction:
•
Pull the vehicle over.
•
Turn the vehicle off.
•
Driver or adult passengers should check for any objects lodged
underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat.
•
Remove the obstruction(s) (if found).
•
Restart the vehicle.
•
Wait at least two minutes and verify that the airbag readiness light is
no longer illuminated.
•
If the airbag readiness lamp remains illuminated, this may or may/not
be a problem due to the front passenger sensing system.
DO NOT attempt to repair or service the system; take your vehicle
immediately to an authorized dealer.
