Your vehicle has a passenger airbag status indicator in the clock, located in the center of the instrument panel.

When the ignition key is turned to ON or START, the passenger airbag status indicator will light for several seconds as a system check. Then, after several more seconds, if the off symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger's frontal airbag and side airbag (if equipped). See Passenger Sensing System for more on this, including important safety information.

If the off symbol is not lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the right front passenger's frontal airbag and side airbag (if equipped) are enabled (may inflate).

Caution: If the off symbol in the passenger airbag status indicator does not come on when you have a rear-facing child restraint installed in the right front passenger's seat, it means that the passenger sensing system has not turned off the passenger's frontal airbag and side airbag (if equipped). A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger's airbag or airbags inflate. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag or airbags. Do not use a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger's seat unless the airbag or airbags have been turned off.

Your vehicle has a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint. A label on your sun visor says, "Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front." This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys.

Caution: Even though the passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the right front passenger's frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped) if the system detects a rear-facing child restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under some unusual circumstance, even though it is turned off. We recommend that rear-facing child restraints be transported in vehicles with a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, whenever possible.

Caution: If the airbag readiness light in the instrument panel cluster ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. If this ever happens, have the vehicle serviced promptly, because an adult-size person sitting in the right front passenger's seat may not have the protection of the frontal airbag and side airbag (if equipped). See Airbag Readiness Light for more on this, including important safety information.
