d icator light moni t ors the safety systems (e.g.
airbags, pretensioners)
and illuminates for a

on.
If the
II
(USA mode ls)/ E,I (Canada models)
indicator light does not go out, or if it illumi-
nates while you are driving, or if it starts to
blink, then there is a ma lfunction somewhere
in the system. If the light does not illuminate
when you switch the ignition on, this also
means there is a malfunction.
