If your vehicle is equipped with an Occupant Classi-
fication System (OCS), the sun visor air bag warning
label will have the phrase Љeven with advanced air
bagsЉ on it. The OCS will instruct the ORC to either
suppress the deployment of the front passenger airbag
or reduce the force of a deploying passenger airbag, in
the unlikely event that a rear-facing infant seat is in the
front passenger seat.

The Passenger Airbag Disable (PAD) Indicator Light
(If Equipped) (an amber light located in the center of
the instrument panel) tells the driver and front pas-
senger when the front passenger airbag is turned off.
The PAD Indicator lamp illuminates the words ЉPASS
AIR BAG OFFЉ to show that the passenger airbag will
not inflate during a collision requiring airbags. When
the right front passenger seat is empty or when very
light objects are placed on the seat, the passenger air
bag will not inflate even though the Passenger Airbag
Disable (PAD) indicator lamp is not illuminated.
The PAD indictor light (If Equipped) should not be
illuminated when teenagers, most children in a for-
ward facing child restraint or booster seats, most
children that can properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt,
and when an adult passenger is properly seated in the
front passenger seat. In this case, the air bag is ready to
be inflated if a collision requiring an airbag occurs.
