Determining if the system is operational
The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument
cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the
system. Refer to the Air bag readiness section in
the Instrumentation chapter. Routine maintenance
of the air bag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or
more of the following:
• The readiness light
will either flash or
stay lit.
• The readiness light will not illuminate immediately
after ignition is turned on.
• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone
pattern will repeat periodically until the problem
and light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently,
have the SRS serviced at your dealership or by a
qualified technician immediately. Unless serviced,
the system may not function properly in the event of
a collision.
Disposal of air bags and air bag equipped
vehicles (including pretensioners)
For disposal of air bags or air bag equipped vehicles,
see your local dealership or qualified technician. Air
bags MUST BE disposed of by qualified personnel.
