PASSENGERAIRBAG light will come on and stay on together with the airbag indicator
light in the instrument cluster.
If liquid is pooled on the seat, but has not soaked in, this may also keep the airbag system
from working properly and cause the front passenger front airbag to be enabled (turned on),
even though there is a properly installed child restraint system on the seat. Wet towels or other
wet things on the seat cushion can have the same effect. The PASSENGERAIRBAG
light goes out when the front passenger's front airbag is active.
NOTE
To help prevent damage to electrical and other parts in the seat, do not kneel on the front
seats or apply concentrated pressure to a small area of the seat or backrest.
Never install leather upholstery on a vehicle that originally had cloth upholstery. Never install
cloth upholstery on a vehicle that originally had leather upholstery. The capacitive passenger
detection system for the Advanced Airbag system will not work properly if different upholstery
is installed on the passenger seat than the upholstery originally installed on the vehicle when it
was originally manufactured.
How to tell if the front passenger front airbag is on or off
Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒ Introduction to the
subject
Passenger front airbag
Regardless of safety belt use, the airbag in front of the front passenger seat will be switched off if the
electrical capacitance measured on this seat is less than the value programmed in the electronic con‐
trol unit.
The front airbag on the passenger side of the front seat will also be turned off if the electrical capaci‐
tance measured on the seat (by the capacitive passenger detection system) is less than or equal to
the combined capacitance of:
a typical 1year-old infant and
any of the child restraints listed in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard208 for which the
Advanced Airbag System in your vehicle is certified.
