When you turn the passenger's airbags off, this light will come on and stay on to remind you that the airbags have been turned off. This light will go off when you turn the airbags back on. See Airbag Off Switch for more on this, including important safety information.

Caution: If the passenger's airbags are turned off for a person who is not in a risk group identified by the national government, that person will not have the extra protection of the airbags. In a crash, the airbags would not be able to inflate and help protect the person sitting there. Do not turn off the passenger's airbags unless the person sitting there is in a risk group. See Airbag Off Switch for more on this, including important safety information.

Caution: If the airbag readiness light ever comes on when you have turned off the airbags, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. The passenger's airbags could inflate even though the switch is off. If this ever happens, do not let anyone whom the national government has identified as a member of a passenger airbag risk group sit in the passenger's position (for example, do not secure a rear-facing child restraint in your vehicle) until you have your vehicle serviced.
