Control indicator v for airbag systems
The airbag systems are electronic
monitored together with seat occupancy
recognition 3, the belt tensioners and
the deployable anti-roll bars 3. Their
operational readiness is indicated by
control indicator v on the instrument
panel. When the ignition is switched on,
the control indicator v illuminates for
approx. 4 seconds. If it does not illuminate,
does not go off after 4 seconds or
illuminates whilst driving, there is a fault
in the airbag systems, seat occupancy
recognition 3, the belt tensioners or the
deployable anti-roll bars 3 - see page 112.
The systems may fail to trigger in the event
of an accident.
Deployment of the airbags is indicated by
continuous illumination of v.
