tensioner on the driver’s or the
passenger’s side of the vehicle. The
SRS indicator alerts
you to a poten tial problem
with your airbags or seat belt
tensioners (see page ).
If the rollover sensor detects your
vehicle is about to roll over, it will
signal the control unit which will
instan tly deploy both side curtain
airbags and activate the front seat
belt tensioners (see page ).
The airbag on the passenger’s side
will deploy, and the seat belt
tensioner will activate, even if there
are no passengers on that side of the

If a brake light does not work, the
indicator comes on
when you push the brake pedal with
the ignition switch in the ON (II)
position.
The
left or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If an indicator does not blink
or blinks rapidly, it usually means
one of the turn signal bulbs is
burned out (see pages and ).
Replace the bulb as soon as possible,
since oth er drivers cannot see that
you are signaling. The
appropriate indicator comes on
in this display if the tailgate or any
door is not closed tightly.
All of the indicato rs in the monitor
display come on for a few seconds
when you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position.
When
you press the hazard warning
button, both turn signal indicato rs
and all turn signals on the outside of
the vehicle flash. A
burned out brake light is a hazard
when drivers behind you cannot tell
you are braking. Replace the bulb as
soon as possible (see page ).
