When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), this indicator will come on
briefly then go out. This tells you the
system is working properly.

by your dealer. For example:
If the SRS indicator does not come
on after you turn the ignition
switch to ON (II).
If the indicator stays on after the
engine starts.
If the indicator comes on or
flashes on and off while you drive.
