It means your air bag has been disabled. You will have to get yor car scanned for air bag codes let me know the exact code numbers. That is your starting point.

IT MEANS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR AIRBAG SYSTEM. YOU NEED TO GET IT PLUGGED INTO TO GET THE CODES AND POST THEM HERE. THESE CARS HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE PAD SENSOR, IT'S A SENSOR ON THE PSSENGER SIDE SEAT CUSHION AND DETECTS BODY WEIGHT. LET US KNOW.
