FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT OPERATION
NOTE: Please print this page and place a copy in the vehicle.
The front passenger seat is equipped with an occupant
classification sensor (weight sensor) that turns the front
passenger air bag on or off depending on the weight
applied to the front passenger seat. The status of the front
passenger air bag (ON or OFF) is indicated by the front
passenger air bag status light
which is located on the
instrument panel. After the ignition switch is placed in the
“ON” position, the front passenger air bag status light on
the instrument panel illuminates for about 7 seconds and
then turns off or remains illuminated depending on the front
passenger seat occupied status. The light operates as
follows:
