Safety Belt Reminders

Safety Belt Reminder Light

This cycle repeats if the driver remains unbuckled and
the vehicle is moving.
If the driver safety belt is already buckled, neither the
light nor chime comes on.

Airbag Readiness Light

There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel cluster, which shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag's electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells if there is an electrical
problem. The system check includes the airbag sensor,
the airbag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing
and diagnostic module. For more information on
the airbag system, see Airbag System on page 1-58.

When the engine is started
this light and chime
comes on and stays on
for several seconds to
remind the people to
fasten their safety belts.
The light also begins
to flash.
If the airbag readiness light stays on or comes on while
driving, the airbag system may not work properly.
Have the vehicle serviced right away.
CAUTION:
{
If the airbag readiness light stays on after the
vehicle is started or comes on while driving, it
means the airbag system might not be working
properly. The airbags in the vehicle might not
inflate in a crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid injury, have the
vehicle serviced right away.
This light comes on when
the vehicle is started,
and it will flash for a
few seconds. When the
light goes out this indicates
the system is functioning
properly.
