    Dear members,
    This forum is really great. I am the new owner of Prius 2008. I have it just a week.
    Now, when I drive, I notice the passenger air bag light is always on, whether there is a passenger in the seat or not. Is this normal?
    When a passenger sits in the front seat, the air bag "on" signal is illuminated, which stays on and I think this is normal. My question is should the passenger air bag light stay illuminated even if no passenger is in the front seat? Any easy solutions or am I worrying about nothing?
    Couple days ago the security system was installed. Maybe the tech guy did something wrong..
    Thanks.

    I am adding a picture how it looks like

    No that's normal... it's odd, but it's normal.

    Enjoy, and welcome.

    Yep. It's normal. Also, IIRC, you should be able to get it to say that passenger airbag is off by fastening its seat belt w/nobody sitting in the seat.
