98 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Passenger Airbag Disable (PAD) System Front Passenger Indicator Light Airbag Status Adult OFF ON Child ON OFF Grocery Bags, ON OFF Heavy Briefcases and Other Relatively Light Objects Empty or Very OFF* OFF Small Objects * Since the system senses weight, some small objects will turn the PAD Indicator Light on. Drivers and adult passengers should verify that the PAD Indicator Light is not illuminated when an adult is riding in the front passenger seat. If an adult occupant's weight is transferred to another part of the vehicle (like the door or instrument panel), the weight sensors in the seat may not properly classify the occupant. Objects lodged under the seat or between the seat and the center console can prevent the occupant's weight from being measured properly and may result in the occupant being improperly classified. Ensure that the front passenger seat back does not touch anything placed on the second row of seats because this can also affect occupant classification. Also, if you fold down the seats in the second row check to be sure they don't touch the front passenger seat. If the front passenger seat is damaged in any way, it should only be serviced by an authorized dealer. If the seat is removed (or even if the seat attachment bolts are loosened or tightened in any way), take the vehicle to an authorized dealer. If there is a fault present in the Airbag Warning Light (a red light located in the center of the instrument cluster directly in front of the driver) will be turned on. This
