turn off the reminder light and/or

Airbag Readiness Light

This light shows if there is an
electrical problem with the airbag
system. It is located on the center
stack, below the infotainment screen.
The system check includes the airbag
sensor(s), the passenger sensing
system, the pretensioners, the airbag
modules, the wiring, and the crash
sensing and diagnostic module. For
more information on the airbag
system, see Airbag System 0 64.
The airbag readiness light comes on
for several seconds when the vehicle is
started. If the light does not come on
then, have it fixed immediately.
Warning
If the airbag readiness light stays
on after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, it means
the airbag system might not be
working properly. The airbags in the
vehicle might not inflate in a crash,
or they could even inflate without a
crash. To help avoid injury, have
the vehicle serviced right away.
If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a Driver Information Center
(DIC) message may also come on.

system. See Passenger Sensing System

light ON and OFF, and the symbols for
