Safety Belt Reminder Light - Pontiac 2001 Firebird Owner's Manual

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will
come on for about eight seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts.
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
modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and
diagnostic module. For more information on the
air bag system, see "Air Bag" in the Index.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on for about 70 seconds.
If the driver's belt is already
buckled, neither the chime
nor the light will come on.
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.
