Passenger’s airbag off indicator
N00418100310
The passenger’s airbag off indicator is located in the instru-
ment panel.
The indicator normally comes on when the electric motor
switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes out a few sec-
onds later.
In the following situations, the indicator will stay on to show
that the passenger’s front airbag is not operational.
● The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
● The system senses that a child is in the child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger’s seat.
When the passenger’s seat occupant classification sensor sys-
tem senses there is a person seated in the front passenger’s seat,
the indicator goes out to show that the passenger’s front airbag
is operational.
