this indicator will light brief ly then
go out. This tells you that the system
is working properly. Thepurposeof theSRS
light is to alert you to a
potential problem with your
Supplemental Restraint System.

time, or does not come on at all, you
should have the system checked by
your dealer. For example:
If the SRS indicator light does not
come on after you turn the ignition

tensioners f or added protection

immediately tighten the f ront seat
belts to help hold the occupants in

until you unbuckle them in the
normal way. If you see any of these indications,
your airbags and seat belt tensioners
may not deploy when you need them.

such as a garage. Do not run the
engine with the garage door closed.
Even with the door open, run the
engine only long enough to move the
car out of the garage. With the hatch open, air flow can
pull exhaust gas into your car’s
interior and create a hazardous
condition. If you must drive with the
hatch open, open all the windows
and set the heating and cooling
system as shown below.
If you must sit in your parked car,
even in an unconf ined area, with the
engine running, adjust the heating
and cooling system as f ollows:
Push the button.
