Passenger Airbag Status Indicator Your vehicle has a passenger airbag status indicator in the clock, located in the center of the instrument panel. {CAUTION: If the off symbol in the passenger airbag status indicator does not come on when you have a rear-facing child restraint installed in the right front passenger's seat, it means that the passenger sensing system has not turned off the passenger's frontal airbag and side airbag (if equipped). A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger's airbag or airbags inflate. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag or airbags. Do not use a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger's seat unless the airbag or airbags have been turned off. United States Canada When the ignition key is turned to ON or START, the passenger airbag status indicator will light for several seconds as a system check. Then, after several more seconds, if the off symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger's frontal airbag and side airbag (if equipped). See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-63 for more on this, including important safety information. If the off symbol is not lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the right front passenger's frontal airbag and side airbag (if equipped) are enabled (may inflate). 3-26
