This indicator comes on when the 
ignition  key is turned to the ACCº or 
ONº position. It goes off after about 6
seconds. This means the SRS airbags
are operating properly. 
The SRS airbag warning light system 
monitors the front airbag sensors, center 
airbag sensor assembly, inflators, warn-
ing light, interconnecting wiring and power sources.The SRS airbag system is designed to 
activate in response to a severe frontal
impact within the shaded area be- 
tween the arrows in the illustration. 
The SRS airbags will deploy if the severity 
of the impact is above the designed 
threshold  level, comparable to an approxi-
mate 20 km/h  (14 mph) collision when im-
pacting straight into a fixed barrier that
does not move or deform. 
If the severity of the impact is below the 
above threshold level, the SRS airbags 
may not deploy. However, this threshold velocity will be 
considerably higher if the vehicle strikes 
an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign
pole, which can move or deform on im- 
pact, or if it is 
involved in an underride col-
lision (a collision in which the nose of the 
vehicle underridesº, or goes under, the 
bed of a truck). It is possible with collision severity at the marginal level of airbag sensor detection 
and activation that only one of your ve- 
hicle's two airbags will deploy. 
For your safety, be sure to always wear your seat belts.
