Pontiac g8 Automobile User Manual


 
Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness
light which shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag’s
electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an
electrical problem. The system
check includes the airbag sensor,
the pretensioners, the airbag
modules, the wiring and the crash
sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the airbag
system, see Airbag System on
page 1-20.
This light will come on when you
start your vehicle, and it will flash for
a few seconds. The light should
go out and the system is ready.
If the airbag readiness light and the
Airbag Fault message on the
Driver Information Center (DIC)
stays on after you start the vehicle
or comes on when you are
driving, your airbag system may not
work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
{ CAUTION
If the airbag readiness light stays
on after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, it means
the airbag system might not be
working properly. The airbags in
the vehicle might not inflate in a
crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid
injury, have the vehicle serviced
right away.
If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a message may also
come on. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 4-26 for
more information.
The message will remain until
3
or 8 are pressed, but the light
will remain until the problem is fixed.
See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4-26 for more information.
