Honda CR-V: Airbag System Indicators / Passenger Airbag Off Indicator
When the passenger airbag off indicator comes on
The indicator comes on to alert you that the
passenger's front airbag has been turned off.
This occurs when the weight sensors detect
about 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an
infant or small child, on the seat.

Children age 12 or under should always ride properly restrained in a back
seat.
- To ensure the passenger is detected properly, confirm that:
- There is no child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the
seat-back.
- There is no rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front
passenger’s seat.
- The front seat or seat-back is not forced back against an object on the
seat or floor behind it.
- There is no object placed under or beside the front passenger’s seat.
- The occupant is sitting in an upright position and the seat back is not
excessively reclined.
- The occupant is not leaning against the door or center console.
- The occupant’s feet are placed on the floor in front of them.
- There are no objects hanging from the front passenger’s seat.
- Only small, lightweight objects are in the seat-back pocket.
The passenger airbag off indicator may come on and go off periodically if the
total weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if:
- All of the above conditions are met, and the indicator comes on with an
adult seated in the front passenger seat.
- The seat is empty and the indicator is off.
Do not allow an adult passenger to ride in the front seat when the indicator
is on.
