Safety Belt Reminder Light; Air Bag Readiness Light - Chevrolet 2004 Venture Owner's Manual

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will
come on for several seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts.

Air Bag Readiness Light

There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows the air bag symbol. 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 sensor, the air
bag modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For
more information on the air bag system, see Air Bag
Systems on page 1-84.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay on
for several seconds. If
the driver's belt is already
buckled, neither the
chime nor the light will
come on.
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start the
vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your air
bag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
CAUTION:
{
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you
start your vehicle, it means the air bag system
may not be working properly. The air bags 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 air bag readiness light
stays on after you start your vehicle.
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.
