What idiot determined that a yellow warning light concerning the status of the passenger-seat airbag should be on 100% of the time? what possessed that same idiot to require the color yellow for such light(s)? why can't the light be dimmed, or even able to be switched off? at night, such a light on the dashboard is a visual distraction. It constantly pulls the driver's attention from the road ahead. The lights are a safety hazard. Once the vehicle is in motion, no one is jumping in. If there is a passenger when the vehicle is in motion, that soul is not jumping out until the vehicle comes to a halt. Logically, there is no need for the light to be on all the time.
