CAUTION:

If the airbag readiness light ever comes on
when you have turned off the airbag, it means
that something may be wrong with the airbag
system. The right front passenger’s airbag
could inflate even though the switch is off. If
this ever happens, do not let anyone whom the
national government has identified as a
member of a passenger airbag risk group sit in
the right front passenger’s position (for
example, do not secure a rear-facing child
restraint in the right front passenger’s seat)
until you have your vehicle serviced. See
Airbag Off Switch
on page 1-65, for more on
this, including important safety information.

Charging System Light

The charging system light
will come on briefly when
you turn on the ignition,
but the engine is not
running, as a check to
show you it is working.

It should go out once the engine is running. If it stays
on, or comes on while you are driving, you may have a
problem with the charging system. It could indicate
that you have problems with a generator drive belt, or
another electrical problem. Have it checked right
away. Driving while this light is on could drain your
battery.

When this light comes on the DIC will also display the
battery not charging message. See DIC Warnings
and Messages
on page 3-47.

If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.
