Charging System Light {CAUTION: If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle, it means the air bag system may not be working properly. The air bags 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 air bag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle. The air bag readiness light should flash for a few seconds when you turn the ignition key to ON. If the light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If there is a problem with the air bag system in your vehicle, the Service Air Bag message will appear on the DIC display. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-65 for more information. When you turn the key to ON or START, this light will come on briefly to show that the generator and battery charging systems are working properly. If this light stays on, your vehicle needs service. You should take your vehicle to the dealer at once. To save your battery until you get there, turn off all accessories. 3-41
