If the airbag readiness light stays on
after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, the airbag
system may not work properly. Have
the vehicle serviced right away.

The airbag readiness light should
flash for a few seconds when
the engine is started. If the light
does not come on then, have it fixed
immediately. If there is a problem
with the airbag system, an
airbag Driver Information Center
(DIC) message may also come on.
See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-42 for more information.

Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator

The vehicle has the passenger
sensing system. See Passenger
Sensing System
on page 1-49
for important safety information. The
instrument panel has a passenger
airbag status indicator.

When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF, or the symbol
for on and off, for several seconds
as a system check. Then, after
several more seconds, the status
indicator will light either ON or OFF,

or either the on or off symbol to let
you know the status of the right
front passenger frontal and
seat-mounted side impact airbags.

If the word ON or the on symbol
is lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the right
front passenger frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag are
enabled (may inflate).

If the word OFF or the off symbol is
lit on the airbag status indicator,
it means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right
front passenger frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag.

If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if
there are no lights at all, there may
be a problem with the lights or
the passenger sensing system. See
your dealer/retailer for service.
