Safe Driving
■When the passenger airbag off
indicator comes on
The indicator comes on to alert you that the
passenger's front airbag has been turned off.
This occurs when the 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.
If you decided to disregard our
recommendations and transport a small child,
they should be properly restrained. 2 Child Safety P. 56
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on.
If the passenger seat is empty, the passenger's front airbag will not deploy and the
indicator will not come on.
■Passenger Airbag Off Indicator1Passenger Airbag Off Indicator
If the indicator comes on with no passenger and no objects on the passenger’s seat, or with an adult
riding there, something may be interfering with the weight sensors. Such as: • An object hanging on the seat.
• An object pressing 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 airba g off indicator may come on and
goes off repeatedly if the total weight on the seat is
near the airbag cutoff threshold.
