When the passenger airbag off 
indicator comes on

The indicator comes on to alert you that the 
passenger’s airbag has been turned off.
This occurs if the seat is empty or when the 
weight sensors determine that a small child or 
infant is on the passenger seat.

Children age 12 or under should always ride properly restrained in a back seat.

If the indicator is on, in the event of a crash the passenger’s airbag will not deploy. 
The passenger’s knee airbag will not deploy, either.

Passenger Airbag Off Indicator

To ensure the passenger is detected properly, confirm 
that:

•

The occupant is sitting in an upright position, 
wearing the seat belt properly and the seat back is 
not excessively reclined.

•

The occupant is not leaning against the door or 
center console.

•

The occupant’s feet are placed on the floor in front 
of them.

•

There are no objects hanging from the front 
passenger’s seat.

•

Only small, lightweight objects are in the seat back 
pocket.

•

No liquid has been spilled on or under the seat.

•

There is no child seat or other object pressing 
against the rear of the seat or seat back.

•

There is no rear passenger pushing or pulling on 
the back of the front passenger’s seat.

•

There are no objects placed under or beside the 
front passenger’s seat. Improperly positioned 
objects can interfere with the advanced airbag 
sensors.

•

The floor mat behind the front passenger’s seat is 
set in the correct position evenly on the floor. An 
improperly placed mat can interfere with the 
advanced airbag sensors.

•

The head restraint is not contacting the roof.
