Roll Sensing
This is the Roll Sensing Curtain Airbags (RSCA) Off indicator symbol. It means that this set of airbags has been disabled, generally by a switch found on the dashboard. These airbags are generally found on vehicles more prone to rollovers or simply used off road and thus “tippy” such as sport utility vehicles with high centers of gravity. The air bags deploy when a rollover is detected instead of an actual collision. They can also go off if the vehicle is tipped, hence the off switch.

For this reason, an off switch is very likely added for off road use, when odd angles are likely to be encountered.
If the switch is in the on position and the RSCA Off indicator is on, and the curtain airbags have not deployed, take the vehicle too your dealer or authorized repair center for repairs.
