Seating and safety restraints Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a secondary warning light to indicate the condition of the system. Refer to the Air bag readiness section in the Instrumentation chapter. Routine maintenance of the air bag is not required. A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: • The readiness light will either flash or stay lit. • The readiness light will not illuminate after ignition is turned on. • The air bag secondary warning light will flash five times. The pattern will repeat periodically until the problem or the readiness light is repaired. If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced at your dealership or by a qualified technician immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision. CHECK ENGINE TRACTION CONTROL O/D OFF 91
