Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime
will come on for several seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts, unless the driver’s safety belt
is already buckled.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on for several seconds,
then it will flash for
several more.
If the driver’s belt is already buckled, neither the chime
nor the light will come on.
Airbag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG and 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 sensor, the air bag modules, the wiring and
the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For more
information on the air bag system, see Airbag Systems
on page 1-48.
This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, 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
vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your air
bag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
