other.
The

indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster (

앫
for about four seconds when you turn
the SmartKey in the starter switch to
position

for about four seconds when you start
the engine by turning the SmartKey.
The
1

after you start the engine. This shows that
the restraint systems are operational.
A malfunction in the system has been
detected if the
