Instruments and Controls
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger sensing system.
See
for
important safety information. The overhead
console has a passenger airbag status
indicator.
When the vehicle is started, the passenger
airbag status indicator will light the symbols
for on and off for several seconds as a
system check. Then, after several more
seconds, the status indicator will light the
on or off symbol to let you know the status
of the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag.
If the on symbol is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that the
front outboard passenger frontal airbag is
allowed to inflate.
If the off symbol is lit on the airbag status
indicator, it means that the passenger
sensing system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag.
If, after several seconds, both 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.

Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever comes
on and stays on, it means that
something may be wrong with the airbag
system. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have the vehicle serviced right
away. See
for more information, including important
safety information.
Charging System Light
The charging system light comes on briefly
when the ignition is turned on, but the
engine is not running, as a check to show
the light is working. It should go out when
the engine is started.
If the light stays on, or comes on while
driving, there may be a problem with the
electrical charging system. Have it checked
by your dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.
When this light comes on, or is flashing, the
Driver Information Center (DIC) also displays
a message.
If a short distance must be driven with the
light on, be sure to turn off all accessories,
such as the radio and air conditioner. Find a
safe place to stop the vehicle.

(Check Engine Light)
This light is part of the vehicle
’
s emission
control on-board diagnostic system. If this
light is on while the engine is running, a
malfunction has been detected and the
vehicle may require service. The light should
come on to show that it is working when
the ignition is in Service Mode. See
