Determining if the system is operational

The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument
cluster or a tone 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 immediately after ignition is
turned on.

A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone
pattern will repeat periodically until the problem
and light are 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.

Disposal of air bags and air bag equipped
vehicles

For disposal of air bags or air bag equipped vehicles,
see your local dealership or qualified technician. Air
bags MUST BE disposed of by qualified personnel.

SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN

See the following sections for directions on how to
properly use safety restraints for children. Also see

Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

in

this chapter for special instructions about using air
bags.
