If
the air bag readiness light stays on after you
start your vehicle, it means the air bag system
may not be working properly. The air bags in
your vehicle may not inflate
in
a crash, or they
could even inflate without a crash. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle
serviced right away
if
the air bag readiness light
stays on after you start your vehicle.
The air bag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition key to
RUN.
If
the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will
be ready to warn you
if
there is a problem.
Charging
System
Light
-
The charging system 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.
It should go out once the engine is running.
If
it stays
on, or comes on while you are driving, you may have
a problem with the charging system. It could indicate
that you have problems with a 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 the light on,
be certain to turn
off
all your accessories, such as the
radio and air conditioner.
