Passenger Safety Belt
Reminder Light

When the vehicle is started, this
light flashes and a chime may come
on to remind front passengers to
fasten their safety belt. Then the
light stays on solid until the belt is
buckled.

This cycle continues several times
if the front passenger remains or
becomes unbuckled while the
vehicle is moving.

If the front passenger safety belt is
buckled, neither the chime nor the
light comes on.

The front passenger safety belt
reminder light and chime may turn
on if an object is put on the seat
such as a briefcase, handbag,
grocery bag, laptop, or other
electronic device. To turn off
the reminder light and/or chime,
remove the object from the seat
or buckle the safety belt.

Airbag Readiness Light

This light shows if there is an
electrical problem. The system
check includes the airbag sensor(s),
passenger sensing system, 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 3‑23.

The airbag readiness light comes on
and stays on for several seconds
when the vehicle is started. Then
the light goes out.

WARNING

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.
