placed on the seat cushion. For most objects that are in the front
passenger seat, the passenger airbag will be disabled. Even though the
passenger airbag is disabled, the

pass airbag off

lamp may or may not

be illuminated according to the table below.

If you think that the status of the passenger airbag off indicator lamp is
incorrect, check for the following:

Objects lodged underneath the seat

Objects between the seat cushion and the center console (if

Other passengers pushing or pulling on the seat

Rear passenger feet and knees resting or pushing on the seat

The conditions listed above may cause the weight of a properly seated
occupant to be incorrectly interpreted by the front passenger sensing
system. The person in the front passenger seat may appear heavier or
lighter due to the conditions described in the list above.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of possible serious injury:

Do not stow objects in seat back map pocket (if equipped) or

hang objects off seat back if a child is in the front passenger seat.
Do not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between
the seat and the center console (if equipped).
