How the SRS Indicator Works
The SRS indicator alerts you
to a potential problem with
your airbag system components.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, this indicator
comes on briefly then goes off. This
tells you the system is working
properly.
If the indicator comes on at any other
time, or does not come on at all, you
should have the system checked by
your dealer. For example:
●
If the SRS indicator does not come
on after you turn the ignition switch
to the ON (II) position.
●
If the indicator stays on after the
engine starts.
●
If the indicator comes on or flashes
on and off while you drive.
You will also see a
‘‘
CHECK AIRBAG
SYSTEM
’’
message on the multi-
information display (see page 87).
If you see any of these indications,
the airbag system components may
not work properly when you need
them.
Ignoring the SRS indicator can
result in serious injury or death
if the airbag systems or
tensioners do not work
properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a
dealer as soon as possible if
the SRS indicator alerts you to
a possible problem.
How the Side Airbag Off Indicator
Works
U.S. Canada
This indicator
alerts you that the
passenger's side airbag has been
automatically shut off. It does
not
mean there is a problem with your
side airbags.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, the indicator
should come on briefly and then go
out (see page 70). If it does not come
on, stays on, or comes on while
driving without a passenger in the
front seat, you will also see a
‘‘
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OFF
’’
message on the multi-information
display. Have the system checked
(see page 87).
