If there is someone sitting in the seat the computer determined that they are not seated properly for safe deployment of the side air bags. It then disables the side bag and lets you know by showing that light on the dash. If there is no-one in the seat then u have a problem.

Please also make sure you have no metal objects on the seat such as Laptop PC's or big bags of stuff .I have seen a medium sized purse turn the light on .
