Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system. The rearview mirror
has a passenger airbag status
indicator.
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF, or the symbol
for on and off, for several seconds
as a system check. If you are
using remote start to start your
vehicle from a distance, if equipped,
you may not see the system
check. Then, after several more
seconds, the status indicator
will light either ON or OFF, or either
the on or off symbol to let you
know the status of the right front
passenger frontal airbag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the right front
passenger frontal airbag is enabled
(may inflate).
{ CAUTION
If the on indicator comes on
when you have a rear-facing
child restraint installed in the
right front passenger’s seat, it
means that the passenger
sensing system has not turned
off the passenger’s frontal
airbag. A child in a rear-facing
child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right
front passenger’s airbag
inflates. This is because the
back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to
the inflating airbag. Do not use
a rear-facing child restraint in
the right front passenger’s seat
if the airbag is turned on.
