a front passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of

A smaller person, such as a child who has outgrown child restraints,
or a small adult occupies the front passenger seat.
WARNING: Even with the front passenger sensing system,
children 12 and under should be properly restrained in the back

The indicator light is located in the center stack of the instrument panel

The front passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the front
passenger’s frontal airbag when a rear facing infant seat, a forward-facing
child restraint, or a booster seat is detected. If the child restraint has
been installed and the indicator is not lit - all the more important to put
the child in the rear seat - if you insist on putting the child in the front
seat against all advice, then turn the vehicle off, remove the child
restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the restraint following the child
restraint manufacturer’s directions.
The front passenger sensing system is designed to enable (may inflate)
the right front passenger’s frontal airbag anytime the system senses that
a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front passenger seat.
When the passenger sensing system has allowed the airbag to be
enabled, the indicator will be unlit and stay unlit to remind you that the
airbag is enabled (may inflate).
