Hey guys I have a 2007 Sentra, I just noticed that when driving by myself the Passanger airbag light dosent light up the OFF position, I will think it should light on the OFF mark because nobody is seating there...

It comes on as OFF when turning the car on but then goes out.

Any ideas?

Thanks .

The light is not on when 1. An adult is occupying the seat 2. If no one is in the seat.
The light stays on if there is a child in the seat that is under a certain weight warning you that he/she should be in back seat not the front one as this could pose a danger to that person if the airbag should deploy.
The passenger seat has an OCS (Occupancy Capacity Sensor) that is programmed for that. Try putting a box or something similar on your front seat that weighs around 30-40 lbs simulating a small child and you will see that the light stays on.

Ohh ok thanks so much,

I figured like I Seen in others cars, the minute you step off the passanger seat the OFF will illuminate,, Which got me a little confused when I drive to work by myself I never see the light on.

Alright thanks so much.
