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 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 33 ). DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION SENSOR PASSENGER'S SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR The driver's advanced front airbag system includes a seat position sensor under the seat. If the seat is too far forward, the airbag will inflate with less force, regardless of the severity of the impact. If there is a problem with the sensor, the SRS indicator will come on, and the airbag will inflate in the normal manner regardless of the driver's seating position. The passenger's advanced front airbag system has weight sensors under the seat. Although Honda does not encourage carrying an infant or small child in front, if the sensors detect the weight of an infant or small child (up to about 65 lbs or 29 kg), the system will automatically turn the passenger's front airbag off. 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. 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.
