panel.
The indicator normally comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON, and goes out a few seconds later. In the following situa-
tions, the indicator will stay on to show that the passenger front
airbag is not operational.

The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense a weight of less
than approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) on the front passen-
ger seat.

The front passenger’s seat is not occupied.
When the weight applied to the front passenger seat is sensed
to be approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator
goes out to show that the passenger’s front airbag is opera-
tional.
