Instruments and Controls
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system. See
for
important safety information. The
instrument panel has a passenger
airbag status indicator.
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF for several
seconds as a system check. If you
use remote start, if equipped, to
start the vehicle, you may not see
the system check. Then, after
several seconds, the status
indicator will light either ON or OFF
to let you know the status of the
front outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag.
If the word ON is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator,
it means that the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and knee
airbag are allowed to inflate.
If the word OFF is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
and passenger knee airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there
are no lights at all, there may be
a problem with the lights or the
passenger sensing system. See
your dealer for service.

WARNING
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right
away. See
for more
information, including important
safety information.
