Is it normal for the passenger airbag light (white light) to be on on the information display- it doesn't say on/off? its just says passenger airbag when no one is in the seat.

Not normal. (Probably...got a pic?)

Make sure nothing is in the buckle, as that can trip the 'passengers airbag off' light. I've seen overweight people who use a seat belt extender have the same complaint when the extender is left stuck in the buckle.

Also, setting your stuff in the passengers seat can cause lights to come on.

If you have items setting in the seat.... or empty, and the buckle latched it will come on.

Don't have anything on/near seat- in fact nothings even in the car- just purchase 6 days ago. When I start the passenger air bag light comes on and below it says "off" in yellow then it goes away and the passenger airbag white light stays on. see attach pic.

I see...The words lit up is just illumination, same as the rest of the dash lighting. The word OFF lights up for 2 seconds as a bulb test, then goes out as long as the control unit sees normal conditions.
