Passenger Airbag Deactivation (PAD) Indicator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The RCM controls the PAD indicator through messages sent via the HS-CAN2 and MS-CAN, based on Information provided by the OCS. When the passenger airbag is activated, the PAD displays ON. If the RCM has deactivated the passenger airbag, the PAD indicator displays OFF.

The RCM briefly activates the PAD indicator to prove out the indicator function and verify proper functional operation of the PAD indicator to the front occupants.

The following table indicates the passenger airbag and PAD indicator status based on the size of the front passenger occupant.
