What's the point of having the words Passenger Airbag lit between the two heated seat switches the whole time the ignition is on. The airbag warning symbols are self-explanatory without it. I'd unplug the light if it wasn't for the fact that the panel doesn't look easy to remove.

It's to remind anyone who contemplates fitting a rear facing child seat that it's on. I still see kids wandering about between the seats and in the back so however unlikely it might seem to those of us with a brain, there will be plenty out there that need the warning.

:roll: I thought that's what the ugly yellow warning stickers on the sun visor were for, but I suppose people can't see those at night :)

I hate these things, anyone tried removing them yet? I see on the net that some people in the US have come up with a number of solutions but I'm wary of attempting anything. Can't say the dashboard sign bothers me though.

I think removing the sun visor from the car and then heating up the sticker with a hairdryer and gradually peeling it off seems the best way. I think you're right to be wary though as I imagine it's easy to stretch or otherwise mark the material, leaving it looking worse and necessitating the purchase of a new visor.

The dashboard sign I can live with; it just niggles me. It looks like a fault, and it's off centre on that panel.

I don't see them. I just ignore them.

Once you have seen it, you can't ignore it. I agree being off centre is very irritating if you are a bit OCD. I just want to find out how to get the panel off and remove the offending bulb.
