In the event of a malfunction, have the air-
bag system checked immediately. Other-

wise, there is a risk that the system may not
respond in the expected manner to an impact
occurring within its normal response range.

Passenger airbag status lamp

The center console contains one of the indica-
tor lamps shown in the illustration.
The indicator lamp indicates whether or not the
passenger airbag system is activated or deacti-
vated as of ignition key position 1.

The indicator lamp is used only for the
passenger airbag system. The indicator

lamp illuminates to show that the passenger air-
bag system is OFF/not active.

The lamp illuminates briefly during startup,
but then goes out if the seat is empty, or if
an adult or child of sufficient size is recog-
nized

The lamp remains illuminated when a child
in a rear facing child-restraint system is
detected, indicating that the passenger air-
bag system is off.

Find more information about the passenger air-
bag system and seat occupation detection in
the section entitled Automatic deactivation of
the passenger airbags.
