Passenger Safety Belt
Reminder Light
Several seconds after the key is turned to RUN or
START, a chime will come on for several seconds
to remind the front passenger to buckle their
safety belt. This would only occur if a passenger is
detected by the passenger sensing system. See
Passenger Sensing System on page 91 for more
information. The passenger safety belt light will also
come on and stay on for several seconds, then it
will flash for several more.
You should have the
passenger buckle their
safety belt.
This light and chime reminder will be repeated if
the ignition is on, the vehicle is in motion, the
passenger is still unbuckled and the passenger
airbag is enabled.
If the passenger’s safety belt is buckled, neither
the chime nor the light will come on.
Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows the airbag symbol. The
system checks the airbag’s electrical system for
malfunctions. The light comes on if there is an
electrical problem. The system check includes the
airbag sensor, the airbag modules, the wiring and
the diagnostic module. For more information on the
airbag system, see
Airbag System on page 82 .
This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, and it will flash
for a few seconds. Then
the light should go out.
This means the system
is ready.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you
start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving,
your airbag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.
