Help me out here. I thought the idea behind the PASSENGER AIRBAG light (see below) was that an additional light could be displayed next to it, in amber, that said the bag was either on or off. Yet in my car it just looks like the picture below, and I wonder why it's there at all? When the car starts up I see the amber lights, but then when I'm just cruising around, it's just PASSENGER AIRBAG... like, yeah, thanks... doesn't say if it's on or off. I find that weird...?!

There is a button behind the steering just below the speedometer dials- one with a setting sun sign - that sets interior lights to dim after sunset- just discovered - what a relief
