Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / September 2005"passenger air bag off" light question
reference to '05 elantra. I had some school books in the passenger seat. After i turned the engine, the "passenger air bag off" light came on. It stayed on and never shut off. My question is: does the light stay on all the time when I have objects in the passenger seat? Is that a problem that needs to be inspected? ><kilroybass@usa.com> wrote in message >news:1128025190.714546.87730@g47g2000cwa.googlegroups.com...

I doubt that you have that much weight in school books. So, yes that light is going to stay on unless you have a passenger in that seat.  SignatureAndrew D.

IIRC, the airbag is supposed to turn on (the light shuts off) if there is 55 pounds or more in the seat. If there is less than that, the light should be on, indicating that the airbag is off. If the seat is empty, the light should be on, which means it's on most of the time. I'd just add that your owner's manual has an informative section on this lamp and what it means. I highly recommend reading that section in particular. |
