Safety Belt Reminder Light
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an
air
bag readiness light on the instrument panel,
which shows
AIR
BAG on it. 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 and modules, the wiring and
the diagnostic module. For more information on the air
bag system, see "Air Bag" in the Index.
When the key is turned to
ON or START, a buzzer will
come on for about eight
seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts,
unless the driver's safety
belt is already buckled. The
safety belt light will also
come on and stay on until
the driver's belt is buckled.
AIR
BAG
You will see this light
flash for a few seconds
when you turn your
ignition to ACC, ON
or START. Then the
light should go out.
This means the system
is ready.
If the air bag readiness light doesn't come on when you
start your vehicle, or stays on, or comes on when you
are driving, your air bag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.
