Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows the air bag symbol. 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 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
ON.
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
as
a check to show you it’s
working. Then it should
go out.
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 a loose 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.
Brake System Warning Light
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop you.
For
good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes
on,
there is a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.
