Air
Bag
Readiness
Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR
BAG.
The system checks the
air
bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells
you
if
there is
an
electrical problem. The system
check includes the air bag sensors, the air bag modules,
the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the air bag system, see “Air
Bag” in the Index.
AIR
BAG
You will see this light flash
for a few seconds when you
turn your ignition to
ON or
START. Then the light
should
go
out.
This
means
the system is ready.
If the
air
bag
readiness light doesn’t come on when you
start your vehicle, or stays on, or comes on when you
are driving, your
air
bag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.
Charging System Light
This light will come
on
briefly when you
turn
on
the
ignition, but the engine is
not running, as a check to
show you it is working.
Then it should go out when
the
engine starts.
If the light stays
on
or comes on while you
are
driving,
you
may
have
a
problem
with
the
electrical
charging
system. It could indicate that you have a loose generator
drive belt
or
another electrical problem. Have
it
checked
right away. Driving while this light
is
on could drain
your battery.
If
you must drive a short distance with this light on, be
certain to
turn
off
all
your
accessories, such as the radio
and
air conditioner.
