If the ignition is on, and the PASSENGER AIR BAG light in
the instrument panel does not come on, the passenger front
airbag is generally active. If the light has burned out (see
below), you will be unable to tell whether the passenger front
airbag is active or not.
Using child restraints on the front passenger seat
The airbag on the front passenger side makes the front seat a
potentially dangerous place for a child to ride. Because of this
danger, and because children are generally better protected on the
rear seat when properly restrained for their age and size, we
strongly advise that you always place children on the rear seat
→ The dangers of using child restraints on the front seat . For a list
of the child restraints used to certify compliance of the Advanced
Airbag System in your vehicle with the suppression requirements of
FMVSS 208, see → Child restraints and the Advanced Airbag
System .
For more information, see → Child safety and child restraints ; note

How do I know when the passenger front airbag has been turned off
by the control unit?
