Airbag Readiness Light - Cadillac 2007 XLR Owner's Manual

Airbag Readiness Light

There is an airbag readiness light on the
instrument panel cluster, which shows a deployed
airbag symbol. The system checks the airbag's
electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an electrical problem. The
system check includes the airbag modules,
the wiring and the diagnostic module. For more
information on the airbag system, see Airbag
System on page 44.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you
start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving,
your airbag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.

This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, and it will flash
for a few seconds.
Then the light should go
out. This means the
system is ready.
CAUTION:
{
If the airbag readiness light stays on after
you start your vehicle, it means the airbag
system may not be working properly. The
airbags in 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 airbag readiness light stays on
after you start your vehicle.
The airbag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when you turn the vehicle on. If the
light does not come on then, have it fixed so it will
be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
