Default Passenger Airbag Warning Light

An old issue, but I'm still confused. On my 2021 GTS, the Passenger Airbag Warning light stays lit and says (OFF [light symbol]/2) continuously. The manual says it should light up this way for 5 seconds as a test, then go off. Mine stays lit. When I start the car and climb into the passenger seat, the light changes to "ON," so at least the passenger airbag is working. Is there a switch somewhere to enable or disable the passenger airbag system or does the system take care of that? If I'm alone in the vehicle and have a significant impact, wouldn't I want the driver's side to deploy as well, or not? Look at page Airbag section of the manual and tell me what you think. Thanks!

Really? No one's had this issue in their Macan?

No airbag light stays on in my 2021 GTS.This sounds like a sensor issue and likely need to take to dealer. My navigation/PCM unit keeps rebooting intermittently while driving, so I am having it looked at for a second time. As much as I like Porsche, cars aren't defect free.
