How the SRS Indicator Works

The SRS indicator alerts
you to a potential problem
with your airbags or seat belt
tensioners.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, this indicator
comes on briefly then goes off. This
tells you the system is working
properly.
If the indicator comes on at any other
time, or does not come on at all, you
should have the system checked by
your dealer. For example:
If the SRS indicator does not come
●
on after you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position.
If the indicator stays on after the
●
engine starts.
If the indicator comes on or flashes
●
on and off while you drive.
You will also see a ''CHECK AIRBAG
SYSTEM'' message on the multi-
information display (see page 81).

If you see any of these indications,
the airbags and seat belt tensioners
may not work properly when you
need them.
Ignoring the SRS indicator can
result in serious injury or death
if the airbag systems or
tensioners do not work
properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a
dealer as soon as possible if
the SRS indicator alerts you to
a possible problem.

display. Have the system checked
