traveling with you in the vehicle and restraint
systems for infants and children, see "Children
in the vehicle" ( page 84).
The SRS system conducts a self-test when
the ignition is switched on and in regular
intervals while the engine is running. This
facilitates early detection of malfunctions.
The 1 indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster ( page 26) comes on when the
ignition is switched on and goes out no
later than a few seconds after the engine
was started.
The SRS components are in operational
readiness if the 1 indicator lamp is not
lit when the engine is running.
A malfunction in the system has been
detected if the 1 indicator lamp:
fails to go out no later than approxi-
mately 4 seconds after the engine was
started
does not come on at all
comes on after the engine was started
or while driving
