Side Airbag Off Indicators

Side Airbags

These are Side Airbag Off Indicator symbols. The picture symbol is found in vehicles sold in Canada. It shows a man in a seat belt next to an oval airbag with an X through it. The text version is found in U.S. vehicles.

• Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, continue on below.
• Otherwise you can return to our main Picture Symbols page or Text Symbols page and scan again!

If this light comes on when there is not someone sitting in the passenger seat, have the airbag checked by your dealer or authorized service center as soon as possible.

The only time the the airbag should be off is when sensors in the seat does not detect enough weight in the seat. The force of an airbag deployment can harm small adults and children, so the air bag is intended to remain off unless adequate weight is detected on the seat.
