'05 AVALON_U (L/O 0501) If the front passenger occupant classification system determines that a person of adult size sits in the front passenger seat but the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light is illuminated, one of the following is likely to have occurred: D A rear passenger lifts the front passenger seat cushion with their legs. The "AIRBAG ON" and "AIRBAG OFF" indicator lights will be illuminated initially when the ignition switch is set at ON. After about four seconds, they will go off. After that, the front passenger occupant classification system operates and judges which indicator light be illuminated. D Objects are placed under the front passenger seat. D The front passenger seatback is in contact with the rear seat. The "AIRBAG ON" and "AIRBAG OFF" indicator lights indicate the actuation of the front passenger airbag, side airbag on the front passenger seat and front passenger's seat belt pretensioner. The "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light will be illuminated when the ignition switch is set at ON with the condition 2 in the table shown below. To ensure the system correctly detects an adult sitting in the front passenger seat, make sure the above do not occur. Make sure that the "AIRBAG ON" indicator light is illuminated when an adult is seated in the front passenger seat. If the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, and with the seat belt worn correctly. If the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light still remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward. 94 2005 AVALON from Jan.
