Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. To avoid breathing (CO) follow the safety tips below. Safety Checks You Should Make Inside the Vehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after an accident if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.). If there is any question regarding belt or retractor condition, replace the belt. Airbag Warning Light The light should come on and remain on for 6 to 8 seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light does not come on or flickers during or after the 6 to 8 seconds, or flickers or comes on while driving have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
