Passenger Airbag Off indicator
The indicator comes on to alert you that the
passenger’s front airbag has been turned off. This
occurs when the front passenger’s weight sensors
detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an infant
or small child, on the seat.
Your vehicle is not recommended for child passengers. Never put a rear-facing
child seat in this vehicle.
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on.
If the passenger‘s seat is empty, the passenger’s front airbag will not deploy and
the indicator will not come on.
If the indicator comes on with no occupant or objects in the passenger’s seat,
something may be interfering with the weight sensors, such as:
• An object hanging on the seat or in the seat-back pocket.
• An object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.
• The seat or seat-back is forced back against cargo on the rear trays or floor
behind it.
• An object placed under the passenger’s seat.
If none of these conditions exist, have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon
as possible.
The passenger airbag off indicator may go on and off repeatedly if the total weight
on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.
Side Airbag Off indicator
This indicator comes on if the passenger’s side
airbag has been turned off because the passenger
is too small to be sitting in the passenger’s seat, is
slouching or not sitting upright, or has leaned into
the airbag’s deployment path.
