But it makes no sense when no one is in the seat. The indicator says "passenger airbag off". So having the indicator dark when there is no passenger would suggest the airbag is ON when per the manual it's really off. When you have a child in the car, the indicator functions as you would intuitively expect. Then when an adult is in the car, the indicator is again dark and makes sense that the airbag is ON. Thus, Nissan did something strange by keeping the light OFF when there is no one in the passenger seat. Other cars will just illuminate the "airbag off" light anytime you don't have a passenger.
