WARNING!
If there is a fault present in the OCS, both the PAD
Indicator Light and the Air Bag Warning Light will
illuminate to show that the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag is deactivated. Should this occur, the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will remain deac-
tivated until the fault is cleared. This indicates that
you should take the vehicle to an authorized dealer
for service immediately.
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag Disabled (PAD)
Indicator Light
The PAD Indicator Light (an amber light located in the
center of the instrument panel) tells the driver and front
passenger when the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is
deactivated. The PAD Indicator light illuminates the
words “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” to show that the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will not inflate during
a collision. When the right front passenger seat is empty
or when very light objects are placed on the seat, the
Passenger Advanced Front 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 passen-
ger seat. In this case, the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag is ready to be inflated if a collision requires Passen-
ger Advanced Front Air Bag deployment. 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 Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag may be deactivated and the PAD Indicator Light will
be illuminated.
The Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will be deacti-
vated for most any size child who is seated properly in
