System Operation Check

An air bag malfunction indicator light is located on center of instrument panel and is used to indicate readiness of system. This light comes on for approximately 3 seconds when ignition is switched on, then goes out.

If light does not glow when ignition is on or does not go out after 3 seconds, a fault exists in system. Passenger side air bag is deactivated if AIR BAG warning light flashes for an additional 12 seconds. If a fault occurs while ignition is on, it is stored in fault memory. Light will then glow and air bag system will be switched off. If light glows or flickers while driving, air bag system should be tested. See DIAGNOSTICS .
