The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on for several seconds,
then it will flash for
several more.

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 system check includes the air bag modules, the
wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For
more information on the air bag system, see Air Bag
Systems on page 1-49.
If the air bag readiness light stays on after the vehicle is
started, or comes on as the vehicle is being driven,
there may be an electrical problem and the air
bag system may not work properly. Have the vehicle
serviced right away.
This light will come on
when the vehicle is
started, and it will flash for
a few seconds. Then
the light should go out.
This means the system is
functioning properly.
