How the SRS Indicator Works

The SRS indicator alerts
you to a potential problem
with your airbag system components.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, this indicator
comes on for several seconds 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 80).
If you see any of these indications,
the airbag system components 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.

How the Side Airbag Off Indicator
Works
U.S. Canada
This indicator alerts you that the
passenger's side airbag has been
automatically shut off. It does
mean there is a problem with your
side airbags.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, the indicator
should come on for several seconds
and then go off (see page 66). If it
doesn't come on, stays on, or comes
on while driving without a passenger
in the front seat, have the system
checked.
You will also see a ''PASSENGER
SIDE AIRBAG OFF'' message on
the multi- information display (see
page 80).
