This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the "ACC" or
"ON" position. It goes off after about
6 seconds. This means the SRS side
airbags are operating properly.
The warning light system monitors the air-
bag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, side airbag sensors, front seat belt
pretensioner assemblies, warning light, in-
terconnecting wiring and power sources.
(For details, see "Service reminder indica-
tors and warning buzzers" on page 92 in
Section 2–4.)

The SRS side airbag system may not
inflate if the vehicle is subjected to a
collision from the side at
angles, or a collision to the side of the
vehicle body other than the passenger
compartment as shown in the illustra-
tion.
The SRS side airbags are designed to
inflate when the passenger compartment
area suffers a severe impact from the
side.
For the safety of all occupants, always
wear your seat belts properly.
