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.

This
light will come on
when you start your engine,
and it will flash for a few
seconds. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.
If the air bag readiness light stays
on
after you start the
engine or comes on when you are driving, your
air
bag
system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
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

fixed
so
it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
Battery Warning Light

This light will come on
briefly when you start the
vehicle, as a check to show
you it is working; then
it
should go out.
If it 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 generator problem or
another electrical system 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 climate control system.
