That's different on the how the light works. I have a 2008 hatchback and it's bugs the s#!t out of me that the bright warning light comes on with no passenger saying Passenger Airbag is OFF. When my wife/passenger sits down the light goes off, I guess saying the airbag is on. The dealer told me that all 2008 airbag warning lights have to tell you when it's OFF. The light is really annoying at night because it's so bright and just reminding you that you don't have a passenger with you.
