Air Bags

No one sits in the passenger seat 99% of the time. the passenger airbag warning light is illuminated, and i am uncertain about its proper deployment in a critical situation. the issue remains unverified by a dealership or any other individual. the component has not been subject to any inspection. i do not recall the specific warning message displayed on the dashboard.
