There is an airbag
readiness light on the
instrument panel cluster,
which shows the

for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is
an electrical problem. See

Airbag Readiness Light

on page 131

for more information.

Where Are the Airbags?

The driver’s airbag is in the middle of the
steering wheel.
