Passenger
Air
Bag Status Indicator
If
your vehicle has the passenger sensing system your
rearview mirror will have a passenger air bag status
indicator.
Passenger Air Bag Status Indicator
-
United States
I
When the ignition key is turned to RUN or START, the
passenger air bag status indicator will light
ON
and
OFF,
or the symbol for on and off, for several seconds
as a 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’s frontal air bag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger
air bag status indicator, it means that the right front
passenger’s frontal air bag is enabled (may inflate).
Passenger Air
Bag Status
Indicator

Canada
rear-facing child restraint installed in the right
front passenger’s seat,
it
means that the
passenger sensing system has not turned
off
the passenger’s frontal air bag.
A
child in a
rear-facing child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right front passenger’s air
bag inflates. This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very close
to the inflating air bag. Don’t use a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front passenger’s seat
