INSTRUMENT PANEL

If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on
the airbag status indicator, it means that
the passenger sensing system has turned
off the right front passenger’s frontal air-
bag. Refer to “Passenger Sensing System”
in “Airbag System” in the “Seats and
Restraint Systems” section for more on
this, including important safety information.
If, after several seconds, both status indi-
cator lights remain on, or if there are no
lights at all, there may be a problem with
the lights or the passenger sensing sys-
tem. See your dealer for service.
Charging System Light
812700
If this light comes on while you are driving,
you may have a problem with the charging
system. A charging system Driver Informa-
tion Center (DIC) message may also
appear. Refer to “DIC Warnings and Mes-
sages” in this section for more information.
This light could indicate that you have
problems with a generator drive belt or
another electrical problem. Have it
cheeked right away. If you must drive a
short distance with the light on, be certain
to turn off all your accessories, such as the
radio and air conditioner.
WARNING
If the on indicator comes on when
you have a rear-facing child restraint
installed in the right front passen-
ger’s seat, it means that the passen-
ger sensing system has not turned
off the passenger’s frontal airbag. A
child in a rear-facing child restraint
can be seriously injured or killed if
the right front passenger’s airbag
inflates. This is because the back of
the rear-facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating airbag.
Do not use a rear-facing child
restraint in the right front passen-
ger’s seat if the airbag is turned on.
WARNING
Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the
right front passenger’s frontal airbag
if the system detects a rear-facing
child restraint, no system is fail-safe,
and no one can guarantee that an air-
bag will not deploy under some
unusual circumstance, even though
it is turned off. We recommend that
rear-facing child restraints be
secured in the rear seat, even if the
airbag is off.
WARNING
If the airbag readiness light in the
instrument panel cluster ever comes
on and stays on, it means that some-
thing 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 airbag(s).
Refer to “Airbag Readiness Light” in
this section for more on this, includ-
ing important safety information.
