Supplementary Restraints System Occupant Passenger airbag status indicator Passenger airbag Empty OFF: Lit ON: Unlit Disabled Child OFF: Lit ON: Unlit Disabled Adult OFF: Unlit ON: Lit Enabled Note: When the passenger airbag status indicator OFF lamp is illuminated, the passenger side airbag (seat mounted) may be disabled to avoid the risk of airbag deployment issues. After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on safety belts, it is very important that they continue to sit properly. A properly seated occupant sits upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered on the seat cushion, with their feet comfortably extended on the floor. Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury in a crash event. For example, if an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly increased. If you think that the state of the passenger airbag status indicator lamp is incorrect, check for the following: • Objects lodged underneath the seat • Objects between the seat cushion and the center console • Objects hanging off the seatback • Objects stowed in the seatback map pocket • Objects placed on the occupant's lap • Cargo interference with the seat • • 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 previous list. Make sure the front passenger sensing system is operating properly. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator (page 47). If the airbag readiness light is lit, do the following: The driver and adult passengers should check for any objects that may be lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat. If objects are lodged or cargo is interfering with the seat; please take the following steps to remove the obstruction: • Pull your vehicle over. • Turn your vehicle off. 42 F150 (TF6)
