is in motion.

If the passenger safety belt is buckled, neither the

The front passenger safety belt warning light and chime

Airbag Readiness Light

The system checks the airbag's electrical system for
possible malfunctions. If the light stays on it indicates
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 2‑84.

The airbag readiness light
comes on solid for a few
seconds when the engine
is started. If the light does
not come on then, have it
fixed immediately.

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.

If there is a problem with the airbag system, an airbag
Driver Information Center (DIC) message can also
come on. See DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 4‑62
for more information.
