If the off symbol is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag

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.

light on, turn off all accessories,
such as the radio and air
conditioner, to help reduce the drain
on the battery.
