Determining if the system is operational

The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the status of the system. Refer to

Airbag readiness

section in

the

Instrument Cluster

chapter. Routine maintenance of the airbag 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/or light are repaired.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced
at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not
function properly in the event of a collision.

Seat-mounted side airbag system (if equipped)

WARNING:

Do not place objects or mount equipment on or

near the airbag cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front

seats or in front seat areas that may come into contact with a
deploying airbag. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the
risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.

WARNING:

Do not use accessory seat covers. The use of

accessory seat covers may prevent the deployment of the side

airbags and increase the risk of injury in an accident.

WARNING:

Do not lean your head on the door. The side airbag

could injure you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the

airbag SRS, its fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an

airbag. See an authorized dealer.

WARNING:

All occupants of the vehicle should always wear

their seat belts even when an airbag SRS is provided.
