Determining if the system is operational
The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the condition of the system. Refer to
Air bag readiness
section
in the
Instrument Cluster
chapter. Routine maintenance of the air bag is
not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:
•
The readiness light will either
flash or stay lit.
•
The readiness light will not
illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on.
•
A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem and/or light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced
at your dealership or by a qualified technician immediately. Unless
serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a
collision.
Disposal of air bags and air bag equipped vehicles (including
pretensioners)
See your local dealership or qualified technician. Air bags MUST BE
disposed of by qualified personnel.
