| Description of the problem | The passenger airbag off light on the 2014 cr-v is illuminated when the seat is occupied by an adult and it is not illuminated when the seat is empty or occupied by a child. At first i thought there was a problem with my vehicle since this is exactly opposite of how every other car implements this. However, this is how it is written in the owner's manual and this is what i was told was normal by my car dealer. This is stupid to the point of being dangerous--an illuminated display that states: passenger air bag off lights when the seat is occupied by an adult and the air bag is actually on. An elderly or infirm person might sit in that seat and think that the airbag is off so it is safe. A parent might refuse to let a child sit in the seat for fear the airbag was on. This is really dumb. |
