Passenger Airbag

[Vinny-irl]

My passenger Airbag light is staying on all on the time now even when car is been driven.

Its the orange light under the radio with the circle and line going through it and "on" in orange next to it.

What does it mean and how do i turn it off or do i need to get it checked

Think if you look in handbook that this is normal for light to be on, its a warning in case you need to put a child seat on the passenger seat. The air bag can be disabled, think this is done by opening passenger door and operating the switch on the side of the dashboard with the car key.

yeah the handbook says that but it says "only when the power switch is in the on position"

i would have thought it would go off when you are driving the car

No, the lights on all the time unless its disabled

Thanks Steve that puts my mind at rest

All seats have weight sensors to detect occupant. System with will only deploy when it detects someone sitting on seat. With front passenger, the light is indicating it is inhibited as its not detecting occupant. If someone sits in it, the light will extinguish.
