48 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE If there is a fault present in the OCS, the Airbag Warning Light will turn on. This indicates that you should take the vehicle to an authorized dealer for service. The Airbag Warning Light will turn on whenever there is fault present, which can affect the operation of the airbag system. If there is a fault present in the OCS, both the PAD Indicator Light and the Airbag Warning Light will illuminate to show that the passenger airbag is turned off. Should this occur the passenger airbag would remain off until the fault is cleared. If an object is lodged under the seat and interferes with operation of the Flex Mat, a fault will occur which turns on both the PAD Indicator Light and the Airbag Warning Light. Once the lodged object is removed, the fault will be cleared automatically after a short period. • The Passenger Airbag Disabled (PAD) Indicator Light indicates to the driver and passenger when the passenger airbag is turned OFF. In the presence of an occupant seated properly in the passenger seat, when the PAD Indicator Light is illuminated, the passenger airbag is turned OFF. The passenger airbag will be enabled for most any size adult who is seated properly in the passenger seat. The passenger airbag may or may not be enabled for (depending on size) a small teenager or a small adult who is seated properly in the passenger seat. The driver and passenger should always use the PAD Indicator Light as an indication that the passenger is positioned properly in their seat. If the PAD Indicator Light comes on when an adult or teenager is in the passenger seat, have the passenger reposition their self in the seat until the light goes out. Remember, if the PAD Indicator Light is illuminated the passenger airbag will not inflate in the event of a collision. The passenger airbag will not be enabled for most any size child who is seated properly in the passenger seat
