INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING It is absolutely essential that the driver and passengers wear their safety belts at all times. Persons who are not wearing safety belts have a much greater risk of injury if an accident occurs. Make a regular habit of buckling your safety belt before putting the key in the ignition. If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start the vehicle or comes on or flashes when you are driving, the air bag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away. Charging System Light WARNING 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 be illuminated 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. The charging system light will come on when you turn on the ignition, and the engine is not running, as a check to show you it is working. When the engine is running, the light should go out. If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving, you may have a problem with the electrical charging system. It could indicate that you have a loose generator drive belt, or another electrical problem. Have it checked right away. Driving while this light is on could drain your battery. If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner. Air Bag Readiness Light There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel. The air bag readiness system checks the air bag's electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the air bag sensor, the air bag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For more information on the air bag system, see "Air Bag Systems" in section 1. S4U3042A This light will come on when you start your vehicle, and it will flash for a few seconds. Then the light should go out. This means the system is ready. 3-20
