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’s airbag or airbags.
See Passenger Sensing System on page 86
for more on this, including important safety
information.

If, after several seconds, all 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 for service.

{

CAUTION:

If the off indicator and the airbag readiness
light ever come on together, it means
that something may be wrong with the
airbag system. If this ever happens, have
the vehicle serviced promptly, because
an adult-size person sitting in the right
front passenger seat may not have the
protection of an airbag. See Airbag
Readiness Light
on page 210.

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.

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.
