When the right front passenger airbag is manually
turned off using the airbag on-off switch in the glove
box, the indicator light OFF or the off symbol will come
on and stay on as a reminder that the airbag has been
turned off. This light will go off when the airbag has
been turned on. SeeAirbag Off Switch
on page 2‑82for more information, including important safety
information.
United StatesCanada
{WARNING:
If the right front passenger's airbag is turned off
for a person who is not in a risk group identified
by the national government, that person will not
have the extra protection of an airbag. In a crash,
the airbag will not be able to inflate and help
protect the person sitting there.
Do not turn off the passenger's airbag unless the
person sitting there is in a risk group identified by
the national government. See Airbag Off Switch
on page 2‑82for more on this, including
important safety information.

{WARNING:
If the airbag readiness light ever comes on and
stays on, it means that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. For example, the right
front passenger airbag could inflate even though
the airbag on-off switch is turned off.
To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have the
vehicle serviced right away. SeeAirbag
Readiness Light
on page 4‑32for more
information, including important safety information.
If the word ON or the on symbol is lit, it means that the
right front passenger frontal airbag is enabled (may
inflate). See Airbag Off Switch
on page 2‑82for more
information, including important safety information.
If, after several seconds, both status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the airbag on-off switch. See
your dealer for service.
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
If the vehicle has one of the indicators pictured in the
following illustrations, then the vehicle has a passenger
sensing system for the right front passenger position
unless there is an airbag off switch located in the glove
box. If there is an airbag off switch, the vehicle does not
have a passenger system system. See Airbag Off
Switch on page 2‑82.
The passenger airbag status indicator is on the
overhead console. See Passenger Sensing System
on
page 2‑86for important safety information.
In addition, if the vehicle has a passenger sensing
system for the right front passenger position, the label
on the vehicle's sun visor refers to “ADVANCED
AIRBAGS”.

Truck-Camper Loading Information
A vehicle specific Truck‐Camper Loading
information label is attached to the inside of your
vehicle's glove box. This label will tell you if your
vehicle can carry a slide-in camper, how much of
a load your vehicle can carry, and how to correctly
spread out the load. Also, it will help you match
the right slide-in camper to your vehicle.
When you carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo
load of your vehicle is the weight of the camper,
plus the following:
.Everything else added to the camper after it
left the factory
.Everything in the camper
.All the people inside
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry. It does
not include the weight of the people inside. But,
you can figure about 150 lbs (68 kg) for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle's CWR. Refer to the Truck-Camper Loading Information
label in the glove box for dimensions A and B as
shown in the following illustration.
Use the rear edge of the load floor for
measurement purposes. The recommended
location for the cargo center of gravity is at
point C for the CWR. It is the point where the
mass of a body is concentrated and, if suspended
at that point, would balance the front and rear.
