140 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL the displayed temperature can only be verified by comparison to a thermometer placed next to the sensor, not by comparison to external displays (e.g., bank signs, etc.). Adaptation to ambient temperature takes place in steps and depends on the prevailing driving conditions (stopand- go or moderate, constant driving) and amount of temperature change. WARNING! The outside temperature indicator is not designed to serve as an ice-warning device and is unsuitable for that purpose. Indicated temperatures just above the freezing point do not guarantee that the road surface is free of ice. 24. Airbag Light The operational readiness of the airbag system is verified by the airbag indicator light in the instrument cluster when turning the key in the ignition switch to the ACC or ON/RUN position. If no fault is detected, the light will go out after approximately four seconds. After the lamp goes out, the system continues to monitor the components and circuitry of the airbag system and will indicate a malfunction by coming on again. The light will come on and remain on for four seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the bulb is not lit during starting, have it replaced. If the light stays on, or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
