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.

{

CAUTION:

If the airbag readiness light stays on after
you start your vehicle, it means the airbag
system may not be working properly. The
airbags in your vehicle may not inflate in
a crash, or they could even inflate without
a crash. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have your vehicle serviced right
away if the airbag readiness light stays on
after you start your vehicle.

The airbag readiness light should flash for a
few seconds when you turn the ignition key to ON.
If the light does not come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
