System Operation Check

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light indicates air bag and seat belt Emergency Tensioning Retractor (ETR) system readiness. Turn ignition on. SRS warning light will come on, and then go out after approximately 4 seconds indicating system is functioning properly.

If SRS warning light does not come on, comes on while driving or is on all the time (for crash related faults), there is a system fault. If SRS warning light stays on for a duration of approximately 2 minutes, a non-crash related fault is present. Repair malfunctioning system.

Some vehicles may be equipped with passenger-side/child safety seat air bag deactivation system. System requires a special child safety seat and a specially designed passenger front seat. When child seat is installed in passenger seat, the passenger-side front air bag is disabled.

When child seat IS properly installed, AIRBAG OFF indicator light will come on and stay on when ignition is in ON or RUN position. When child seat is NOT installed and ignition is turned on, AIRBAG OFF indicator light will come on for approximately 6 seconds and then go out.
