EVERY TIME THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS MOVED FORWARD TO ALLOW PASSENGERS IN OR OUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN THE VEHICLE STARTS BLINKING. THE LIGHT WILL BLINK FOR AROUND 15 DAYS BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF IF THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT MOVED FORWARD FOR PASSENGERS DURING THAT TIME. THE NEXT TIME THE PASSENGER SEAT IS MOVED FORWARD FOR PASSENGERS, THE CYCLE STARTS OVER AGAIN.
