Additional Information About Your Airbags Be aware that objects placed on the passenger's seat can also cause the airbag to be turned off. Driver and Passenger Safety To ensure that the passenger's advanced front airbag system will work properly, do not do anything that would increase or decrease the weight on the front passenger's seat. Back seat passengers should not wedge objects or intentionally force their feet under the front passenger seat. Also, make sure the floor mat behind the front passenger's seat is properly positioned on the floor (see page 367 ). If it is not, the mat may interfere with the proper operation of the front passenger's seat and its sensors. When the passenger airbag gets turned off by the weight sensors, a ''passenger airbag off'' indicator in the center of the dashboard comes on (see page 32 ). If the weight sensors detect there is no passenger in the front seat, the airbag is automatically turned off. However, the passenger airbag off indicator in this situation will not come on. This includes: A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger's seat. Moving the front seat or seat-back forcibly back against cargo on the seat or floor behind it. Hanging heavy items on the front passenger seat, or placing heavy items in the seat-back pocket. Moving the front seat or seat-back forcibly back against the folded rear seat. 28 2012 Accord Sedan
