Air Bag Readiness Light - Ford 1996 Mustang Manual

If the safety belt is buckled before the key is
turned to the ON position, the light will
come on for 4 to 8 seconds with no chime.

Air Bag Readiness Light

The air bag system uses a readiness light to
indicate the condition of the system. If the
system is functioning properly, the light will
stay on for 6 seconds when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
If there is a problem with the system, two things
may happen: the readiness light will either flash
or stay lit up, or you will hear a beeping sound.
If either of these things happen, have the air bag
system serviced at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury
dealer immediately.
