Air Bag Readiness Light - Cadillac 2001 Seville Owner's Manual

Air Bag Readiness Light

There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG (United States) or the air
bag symbol (Canada). The system checks the air bag's
electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if
there is an electrical problem. The system check
includes the air bag sensors, the air bag modules, the
wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the air bag system, see "Air
Bag" in the Index.

If the air bag readiness light stays on after you

your vehicle may not inflate in a crash, or they
could even inflate without a crash. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle
serviced right away if the air bag readiness light
stays on after you start your vehicle.

The air bag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition key to ON. If the
light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
