How The Side Airbag Off Indicator Works - Honda 2011 Element Owner's Manual

If the indicator comes on at any other
time, or does not come on at all, you
should have the system checked by
your dealer. For example:
If the SRS indicator does not come
●
on after you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position.
If the indicator stays on after the
●
engine starts.
If the indicator comes on or flashes
●
on and off while you drive.
If you see any of these indications,
the airbag system components may
not work properly when you need
them.
Additional Information About Your Airbags
Ignoring the SRS indicator can
result in serious injury or death
if the airbag systems or
tensioners do not work
properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a
dealer as soon as possible if
the SRS indicator alerts you to
a possible problem.
How the Side Airbag Off Indicator
Works
This indicator alerts you that the
passenger's side airbag has been
automatically shut off. It does
mean there is a problem with your
side airbags.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, the indicator
should come on briefly and then go
off (see page 59). If it doesn't come
on, stays on, or comes on while
driving without a passenger in the
front seat, have the system checked.
