Air bag warning light
The purpose of the air bag warning light in your instrument panel is to alert you of a potential problem with your air bag - Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the warning light should appear for approximately 6 seconds, then go off.
Have the system checked if:
-
The light does not turn on briefly when you turn the ignition ON.
-
The light stays on after appearing for approximately 6 seconds.
-
The light comes on whilst the vehicle is in motion.
-
The light blinks when the ignition switch is in ON position.
Passenger’s front air bag ON indicator (if equipped)
The passenger's front air bag ON indicator also comes on when the passenger's front air bag ON/OFF switch is set to the ON position and goes off after approximately 60 seconds.
Passenger’s front air bag OFF indicator (if equipped)
The passenger’s front air bag OFF indicator also comes on when the passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF position and goes off when the passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch is set to the ON position.
If the passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch malfunctions, the passenger’s front air bag OFF indicator will not appear (The passenger's front air bag ON indicator comes on and goes off after approximately 60 seconds) and the passenger’s front air bag will inflate in a frontal impact even if the passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF position.
In this case, have the passenger's front air bag ON/OFF switch and the SRS air bag system inspected by a professional workshop.
