Passenger Safety Belt Reminder
Light
Several seconds after the key is turned to RUN or
START, a chime will be provided for several seconds to
remind the front passenger to buckle their safety belt.
This would only occur if the passenger airbag is
enabled. See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-80
for more information. The passenger safety belt light
will also be provided and stay on for several seconds,
then it will flash for several more. You should have
the passenger buckle their safety belt.
If the passenger's safety belt is buckled, neither the
chime nor the light will be provided.
3-34
This chime and light will be
repeated if the passenger
remains unbuckled and
the vehicle is in motion.
Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows the airbag symbol. The system
checks the airbag's electrical system for malfunctions.
The light comes on if there is an electrical problem.
The system check includes the airbag sensor, the airbag
modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For
more information on the airbag system, see Airbag
System on page 1-72.
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.
