WARNING: If the passenger airbagoff light is illuminated when thepassenger airbag switch is on and theignition is on, have the passenger airbagswitch serviced immediately by aqualified technician.

2.The passenger airbag off light brieflyilluminates when you switch theignition on. This indicates that thepassenger airbag is operational.
The passenger side airbag should alwaysbe on, and the passenger airbag off lightshould not be illuminated, unless thepassenger is a person who meets therequirements stated either in Category 1, 2or 3 of the National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration or Transport Canadadeactivation criteria which follows.
The vast majority of drivers and passengersare much safer with an airbag thanwithout. To do their job and reduce the riskof life threatening injuries, airbags mustopen with great force, and this force canpose a potentially deadly risk in somesituations, particularly when a front seatoccupant is not properly buckled up. Themost effective way to reduce the risk ofunnecessary airbag injuries withoutreducing the overall safety of the vehicleis to make sure all occupants are properlyrestrained in the vehicle, especially in thefront seat. This provides the protection ofseatbelts and permits the airbags toprovide the additional protection they weredesigned to provide. If you choose todeactivate your airbag, you are losing thevery significant risk reducing benefits ofthe airbag and you are also reducing theeffectiveness of the seatbelts. Seatbeltsin modern vehicles are designed to workas a safety system with the airbags.
