What is this light in the dash?
Hi, I'm looking at an 03 civic that I'm thinking of buying. In the pictures of the listing they have this picture which has one of the idiot lights lit up under the temp gauge. Just wondering if anyone could tell me what light it is, I can't make it out in the picture. Thanx

Turning on my 03, i dont see this light, nor can i find anything similar looking at it with a LED flashlight
From what i can make out, i'm guessing it says "Side Airbag Off"
So from that, i guess you have found an EX model with side airbags

If the passenger seat sensor doesn't detect enough weight it will turn off the side airbags.
There are weight sensors in the outsides of the bottom cushion of the front seat to detect if an object is too close to the side of the car for the side A/B to deploy.
airbags is not something you can just "turn off"

Weight sensitive then? And yeah I know you can't just turn airbags off, but I though it was similar to how you can disable the passenger airbags in some cars.
