Cadillac 2006 STS - Manual (Page 205)

{ CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you
start your vehicle, it means the airbag system
may not be working properly. The airbags in
your vehicle may not inflate in a crash, or they
could even inflate without a crash. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle
serviced right away if the airbag readiness light
stays on after you start your vehicle.
The airbag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when you turn the vehicle on. If the light does
not come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to
warn you if there is a problem.
If there is a problem with the airbag system in your
vehicle, the Service airbag message will appear on the
DIC display. See DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-79 for more information.
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
Your overhead console has a passenger airbag
status indicator.
The indicator next to the passenger airbag status
indicator lights is the passenger safety belt reminder
light. See Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light
on page 3-60 for more information on that indicator.
When the vehicle is running, 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’s
frontal airbag.
