However, under certain conditions, even with
a properly installed child restraint system,
the PAD Indicator Light may not be illumi-
nated, even though the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag is deactivated. This can occur if
the child restraint is lighter than the lightest
weight necessary to illuminate the PAD Indi-
cator Light. NEVER assume the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag is deactivated unless
the PAD Indicator Light is illuminated with
the words “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF.”
NOTE:
If the seat belt is buckled for an empty seat,
the PAD Indicator Light will illuminate.
If The PAD Indicator Light Is Illuminated For
An Adult Passenger:
If an adult passenger is seated in the front
passenger seat and the PAD Indicator Light is
illuminated, the passenger may be sitting
improperly.
Follow the steps below to allow the OCS to
detect the adult passenger’s seated weight to
activate the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag:
1. Turn off the vehicle and have the adult
passenger step out of the vehicle.
2. Remove any extra materials from the pas-
senger seat, such as cushions, pads, seat
covers, seat massagers, blankets, extra
clothing, etc.
3. Place the seatback in the full upright
position.
4. Have the adult passenger sit in the center
of the seat, with the passenger’s feet com-
fortably on or near the floor, and with their
back against the seatback.
5. Restart the vehicle and have the passen-
ger remain in this seated position for two
to three minutes after restarting the
vehicle.
WARNING!
• If the PAD Indicator Light remains illu-
minated for an adult passenger, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately. Failure to do so
may cause serious injury or death. If the
PAD Indicator Light is illuminated with
the words "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF,"
the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
will not deploy in the event of a collision.
• Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying pas-
senger front air bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-
facing child restraint.
• Never install a rear-facing child restraint
in the front seat of a vehicle. Only use a
rear-facing child restraint in the rear
seat. If the vehicle does not have a rear
seat, do not transport a rear-facing child
restraint in that vehicle.
• Children 12 years or younger should al-
ways ride buckled up in the rear seat of a
vehicle with a rear seat.
