Safety Belt Reminders

Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the engine is started, a chime will come on for
several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety
belts, unless the driver's safety belt is already buckled.
This chime and light is repeated if the driver remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver's
belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the
light will come on.
3-46
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on for several seconds,
then it will flash for
several more.

Airbag Readiness Light

There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel cluster, which shows the airbag symbol. The
system checks the airbag's electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. The system check includes the airbag
sensor, the pretensioners, the airbag modules, the
wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag
System on page 1-36.
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.
The light should go out
and the system is ready.
