If you think the passenger airbag status is incorrect, check for the following:-Objects lodged underneath the seat
- Objects wedged between the seat cushion and the center console
- Objects hanging off the back off the seat
- Cargo interference with the seat
- Rear-seat passengers pushing or pulling on the front passenger seat
Any of the conditions listed above may cause the occupancy sensor to incorrectly interpret the
weight of the occupant or object as either heavier or lighter than the real weight.
Depending on the input received from the occupancy sensor, the passenger airbag status indicator
operates as follows:Front Passenger Seat OccupancyPassenger Airbag StatusPassenger Airbag Status

A low-weight object or occupant is classified as weighing less than 52 lb (23.5 kg). The movement
of a low-weight occupant or object while your vehicle is in motion may cause the status indicator to
switch states occasionally.
*2 Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A forward-facing
child restraint system should only be installed on the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable.
*3 For some children (a child in a seat, booster seat, or convertible seat), the system may not
recognize them as a child. Factors that may affect this can be the physique or posture.
*4 The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front
passenger seat, the system may not recognize them as adults, depending on their physique and
posture.
Note: It is possible to receive an intermittent indicator status with an empty seat. This is part of
the system
