the ignition is switched on and
the capacitive passenger detection system, which switches the front seat passenger's front
Advanced Airbag on and off, detects a change in the status of the front passenger seat.
After the PASSENGERAIRBAG light stops blinking, always make sure that the airbag status
(on or off) as shown by the PASSENGERAIRBAG light is proper for the size, age, and weight
(electrical capacitance) of the occupant on the front passenger seat. Always make sure that the safety
belt for the front passenger seat is properly fastened.
The PASSENGERAIRBAG light will show the status of the front seat passenger's front
Advanced Airbag System a few seconds after the ignition has been switched on and the airbag moni‐
toring light goes off. The PASSENGERAIRBAG light:
will stay on if the front passenger seat is not occupied;
will stay on if the electrical capacitance measured by the capacitive passenger detection system
for the front passenger seat equals the combined capacitance of an infant up to about 1year of
age and one of the rearward-facing or forward-facing child restraints listed in Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard208 with which the Advanced Airbag System in your vehicle was certi‐
fied. For a listing of the child restraints that were used to certify your vehicle's compliance with the
U.S. Safety Standard ⇒Child safety and child restraints ;
will go out if the front passenger seat is occupied by an adult as registered by the capacitive pas‐
senger detection system.
The PASSENGERAIRBAG light must come on and stay on if the ignition is on and…
a car bed has been installed on the front passenger seat, or
a rearward-facing child restraint has been installed on the front passenger seat, or
a forward-facing child restraint has been installed on the front passenger seat,
and if the electrical capacitance registered on the front passenger seat is equal to or less than the
combined capacitance of a typical 1year-old infant and one of the rearward-facing or forward-fac‐
ing child restraints listed in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard208 with which the Advanced
Airbag System in your vehicle was certified.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the front passenger airbag will not deploy, and the
PASSENGERAIRBAG light will stay on.
