Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Indicator

The passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator is installed on the climate control module in the center of the instrument panel. When appropriate, the indicator illuminates to advise front seat occupants that the passenger air bag is disabled. Operation of the indicator is controlled by the restraints control module (RCM) based on seat occupancy status derived from the occupant classification system (NAS vehicles) or the passenger air bag deactivation switch (all except NAS and Australian specification vehicles).

The restraints control module (RCM) illuminates the indicator:

• When the passenger air bag is deactivated with the passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) switch (where fitted).
• When required by passenger seat occupant monitoring (NAS vehicles only).
