The passenger airbag off indicator may come on and
go off periodically if the tota l weight on the seat is
near the airbag cutoff threshold. For a small adult,
depending on physique and posture, the system may
not recognize him/her as an adult and thus deactivate
the passenger’s airbag.

are met.
If the above conditions are met and the indicator is
still on, then with the transmission in park, turn the
ignition off and back on.

possible if:
•All of the above conditions are met, and the
indicator comes on with an adult seated in the
front passenger seat.
