Do you mean the passenger air bag? When someone sits down in the seat, the light ought to turn off.
Since we were in the passenger seat and the indicator was on, we assumed there was an issue and would appreciate some time to investigate. I’ll investigate and reply. thanks,
Hi, When I looked, I saw that the passenger air bag is off light was remained on even when the passenger was seated. How do we activate the passenger airbag? Thanks,
The passenger side status light may remain on because there may be an issue with the passenger presence system sensor (OCS). They can all belong to the same. Having the system scanned and verified for error codes is the only way to be sure.
However, some (393,000) were subject to a recall, so you might want to check to see whether yours was one of them.
SYNOPSIS: Hyundai is recalling 393,714 Sonata models from the M/Y 2006 to 2008 that have an upgraded air bag system with an Occupant Classification System (OCS) in the right front seat. When a child restraint system or small child is detected in the right front seat, the OCS is designed to disable the right passenger seat front air bag. To stop injuries to children that might arise from the right front air bag inflating during a collision, the right front air bag is disabled. CONSEQUENCE: If a small-framed adult in the right front passenger seat is mistakenly categorized as a kid, the right front air bag might not deploy in a collision, which could lead to injury for the right front occupant.
REMEDY: Dealers will check to see if an adult occupant who is properly situated is not being recognized by the OCS. Dealers will disassemble the right front seat cushion assembly after verification and send it to a facility for inspection and repair. This facility will inspect the seat cushion and OCS and, if necessary, repair or reprogram them. It is anticipated that the recall would start on or around May 26, 2008. Hyundai may be reached by owners at 1-800-633-5151.
NOTES: Recall number 083 for Hyundai. Customers can call the Vehicle Safety Hotline of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or they can visit http://www.safercar.gov.

Morsel
Being new to this place (and to Hyundai! ), I recently purchased an Elantra. However, there is one small niggle: the “Passenger Airbag Off” light is quite bright and orange, and it is located on the dash close to the clock. This is always on because I commute alone, and it contrasts sharply with the generally muted and blue dashboard lights. Is it possible to turn off this notification?
You may disable the passenger side front air bag in some vehicles with a disable key that matches the ignition key. MD Elantras (model years 2011 and above) don’t. It cannot be turned off.
How do I activate the airbags for the front passenger?
When an adult-sized individual is spotted in the passenger seat, the front passenger air bags will immediately deploy. The illuminated word ON on the PASSENGER AIR BAG control on the center console will indicate this. Even with an adult-sized person seated in the passenger seat, the air bag may not deploy. The word OFF will appear on the control in this situation. Do not operate the car if the air bag control cannot detect the person in the passenger seat. Do the following instead:
Once the air bag control has signaled ON after starting the car, keep the passenger and their seat in place for one minute. The air bag will remain on for one minute after which the passenger may modify their seat and seating posture.

How to interpret the Hyundai Airbag Light?
Owners of Hyundai vehicles frequently complain about their airbag light staying on all the time. When driving, if the Hyundai airbag light remains on, the airbag system is malfunctioning or a sensor has failed. Your car’s airbags might not inflate in the event of a collision.
When you switch on the ignition, the airbag light in your instrument cluster should illuminate for roughly five seconds. All the sensors and parts are quickly checked by the airbag system.
Your Hyundai’s airbag light ought to go out if there are no issues. The light remains on if any of the components are malfunctioning.
We advise that you contact your Hyundai dealer to find out if your car is still covered by warranty before attempting to troubleshoot the airbag light on your Hyundai. If your Hyundai is still covered under warranty, your dealer ought to fix your vehicle at no cost.
How can I activate the passenger airbag?
When the passenger door is open, you may access the switch for the passenger airbag on the passenger side of the instrument panel. Verify that the switch is set to the appropriate position. All front-facing passengers (adults and children) are permitted to occupy the passenger seat securely when the airbag is turned ON.
Why is my Hyundai Sonata’s airbag light on?
Has a collision caused your Hyundai’s airbags to deploy? Is the dashboard airbag light on? Have you recently purchased a salvage vehicle and require seat airbag repair? If you indicated “yes” to any of these inquiries, it’s possible that your airbag light or module needs to be fixed or reset.
The brains of your car’s Supplemental Restraint System, or SRS, is an airbag module. When your car has been in an accident or collision, it uses the sensors to decide what has to be done. There are a number potential causes for the airbag light to illuminate. It can mean that your seat belts aren’t working properly. Water damage to the sensors may also be a problem. The SRS light may also come on if the car has recently been in an accident.
The airbag module calculates that the seat belts need to lock and tighten if someone jerks while wearing a seat belt or if the Hyundai abruptly breaks. This keeps them firmly seated in your seat. The airbag did not need to deploy in this situation. The seatbelts offered enough protection. However, the module detects the requirement for the airbags to deploy and the seat belts to tighten in the event of an accident, such as a head-on collision, in order to protect both the driver and the passengers. Get a Hyundai Sonata Airbag light reset or repair service if your airbags have deployed. Make that the airbags, seatbelts, and all other components of your Hyundai’s SRS will function correctly in the event of a collision.
You’ll probably hear from a dealer that you need to buy a new airbag module, which can run you up to $1,000. The module will need to be reprogrammed to your vehicle’s VIN whether it is new or used. This could be a step in a protracted, challenging, and expensive procedure.
Where is the switch for the passenger airbag?
If the vehicle has a switch called the Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch, it can be used to deactivate the passenger airbag.
When the passenger door is open, you may access the switch for the passenger airbag on the passenger side of the instrument panel.
ALL FRONT-FACING PASSENGERS (CHILDREN AND ADULTS) CAN SIT SAFELY ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE AIRBAG IS ACTIVATED.
Rear-facing child seats are safe for use on the passenger seat when the airbag is switched to OFF.
How is the passenger airbag light reset?
When you experience the same problem, you should start by following this technique, which is identical to resetting the airbag light on a Toyota Camry. It needs timing the airbag light and has four straightforward stages that are simple to complete.
First, activate the ignition. Wait for the airbag light to turn on next; it typically illuminates for seven seconds before automatically turning off. After waiting three seconds, immediately flip the ignition switch off. Before starting the engine, go through the basic procedures a couple of times. Your car’s airbag light should illuminate for seven seconds before turning off permanently if everything is done correctly.
My passenger airbag is acting up, why?
The Passenger Air Bag Off Light in the dash will illuminate if the passenger sensing system determines that no one is occupying the passenger front seat or if a number of other circumstances apply. You should understand what this means:
- Front passenger airbag is not deployed.
- You can also not have the passenger air bag deployed.
- In the event of a collision, the air bag will not deploy.
If there is an adult-sized passenger in the front seat and the Passenger Air Bag Off Light is on, this usually indicates that they are not seated properly.
Have the automobile inspected if the passenger adjusts their position and the light does not go out.
It might be necessary to shut off and restart the engine to get the light to turn off.
My airbag light is on, why?
