5-12 Instruments and Controls
The airbag readiness light comes on
and stays on for several seconds
when the vehicle is started. Then
the light goes out.
{
WARNING
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.
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 3‑37 for
important safety information. The
instrument panel has a passenger
airbag status indicator.
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light the words ON and OFF for
several seconds as a system check.
Then, after several more seconds,
the status indicator will light either
the word ON or OFF to let you know
the status of the right front
passenger frontal airbag and seat‐
mounted side impact airbag.
If the word ON is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the right front passenger
frontal airbag and seat‐mounted
side impact airbag are enabled (may
inflate).
If the word OFF is lit on the airbag
status indicator, it means that the
passenger sensing system has
turned off the right front passenger
frontal airbag and seat-mounted
side impact airbag.
