Safety Belt Reminder Light; Air Bag Readiness Light - Chevrolet 2001 Express Van Owner's Manual

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the key is turned to RUN or START, a tone will
come on for about eight seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts, unless the driver's safety belt is
already buckled.
If the driver's belt is already buckled, neither the tone
nor the light will come on.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay on
for about 20 seconds,
then it will flash for
about 55 seconds.

Air Bag Readiness Light

There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG or 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 crash sensing
and diagnostic module. For more information on the
air bag system, see "Air Bag" in the Index.
United States
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.
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.
