The SRS airbag warning light system monitors the airbag

the engine, and check for the cause. Look first at the engine
drive belt.

battery properly.

If the belt is O.K., there is a problem somewhere in the
charging system.
The engine ignition will continue to operate, however, until
the battery is discharged. Turn off the air conditioning,

dealer or repair shop.
