PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF
INDICATOR
When you start the vehicle, the
system will perform a self-check.
The air bag "on" and "off"
indicators will appear briefly in
the passenger sensing system
status bar (located on the
overhead console).
When the system self-check is
complete, one of the indicators
will stay on to indicate whether the
right front passenger's frontal air
bag is on or off.
Note:
You may not see the system
self-check when using the
vehicle remote-start feature to
start the engine.
See "Vehicle Remote-Start" in
Section 3 for more information.
If the two indicators never appear
when the vehicle is first started, or
if after several seconds both
indicators remain lit, there may be
a problem with the system. See
your dealer for service.
The "on" indicator light may
illuminate if an object, such as a
briefcase, handbag, or grocery
bag, is put on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Remove the object to
turn off the indicator light.
CAUTION
If the air bag light stays on or
comes on while you are driving,
there may be a problem with
this system. To avoid injury to
yourself or others, have the
vehicle serviced right away.
See "Air Bag Light" in Section 1
for more information.
See "System Operation with a
Child Restraint" earlier in this
section for additional important
safety information.
Also, see "Passenger Safety Belt
Reminder Light", earlier in this
section.
