The front passenger ’s frontal airbag ON
and OFF indicators show you the status of
the front passenger

The indicators are located next to the
clock in the center portion of the dash-

When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, both the ON and OFF
indicators illuminate for 6 seconds during
which time the system is checked. Follow-
ing the system check, both indicators turn
off for 2 seconds. After that, one of the
indicators illuminates depending on the
status of the front passenger

If the front passenger

is activated, the passenger ’s frontal airbag
ON indicator will illuminate while the OFF
indicator will remain off.
If the front passenger
’s SRS frontal airbag
is deactivated, the passenger ’s frontal
airbag ON indicator will remain off while

With the ignition switch turned to the
