One or more of the following conditions may occur: - Non-deployment of the airbags in the event of a crash. - Deployment of the airbags without a crash. - Deployment of the airbags in crashes less severe than intended. • To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle serviced right away if the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle.
