THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 67 "PASS AIR BAG OFF" to show that the passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will not inflate during a collision requiring air bag deployment. When the right front passenger seat is empty or when very light objects are placed on the seat, the passenger air bag will not inflate even though the PAD indicator light is not illuminated. The PAD indicator light should not be illuminated when an adult passenger is properly seated in the front passenger seat. In this case, the passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is ready to be inflated if a collision requires an air bag deployment. For all other occupants, the PAD indicator light will be illuminated indicating that the passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is turned off and will not inflate. NOTE: Even though this vehicle is equipped with an occupant classification system, children 12 years or younger should always ride buckled up in a rear seat in an appropriate child restraint (refer to "Child Restraints"). 2 Indicator Light Location
