Then the light stays on solid until the belt is

the chime nor the light comes on.

and chime may turn on if an object is put

If the airbag readiness light stays on
after the vehicle is started or comes on

a crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid injury,
have the vehicle serviced right away.

When the vehicle is started, the passenger
airbag status indicator will light ON and OFF,
or the symbols for on and off, for several
seconds as a system check. Then, after

If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on
the passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag are allowed
to inflate.
