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 ENGINE START/STOP button is turned ON, the warning light should illuminate for approximately 6 seconds, then goes off.

Have the system checked if:

  • The light does not turn on briefly when you turn the ignition ON.

  • The light stays on after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds.

  • The light comes on whilst the vehicle is in motion.

  • The light blinks when the ENGINE START/STOP button is in ON position.

Passenger’s front air bag ON indicator

The passenger's front air bag ON indicator illuminates for approximately 4 seconds after the ENGINE START/STOP button is turned to the ON position.

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.

Passenger’s front air bag OFF indicator

The passenger’s front air bag OFF indicator illuminates for about 4 seconds after the ENGINE START/STOP button is turned to the ON position.

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.

CAUTION

If the passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF switch malfunctions, the passenger’s front air bag OFF indicator will not illuminate 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.
