2. As soon as you cycle the ignition
switch to the ON position, you will see the
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
symbol come on as part of a normal bulb
check.
3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one
of two things will happen:
The MIL will flash for about ten
seconds and then return to being fully
illuminated until you turn OFF the ignition
or start the engine. This means that your
vehicle's OBD II system is not readyand
you should notproceed to the I/M
station.
The MIL will not flash at all and will
remain fully illuminated until you place
the ignition in the off position or start the
engine. This means that your vehicle's
OBD II system is readyand you can
proceed to the I/M station.
If your OBD II system is not ready,you
should see an authorized dealer or repair
facility. If your vehicle was recently
serviced or had a battery failure or
replacement, you may need to do nothing
more than drive your vehicle as you
normally would in order for your OBD II
system to update. A recheck with the
above test routine may then indicate that
the system is now ready. Regardless of whether your vehicle's
OBD II system is ready or not, if the MIL
is illuminated during normal vehicle
operation you should have your vehicle
serviced before going to the I/M station.
The I/M station can fail your vehicle
because the MIL is on with the engine
running.

The Air Bag Warning Light comes on
intermittently or remains on while
driving.
Note: If the speedometer, tachometer,
or any engine related gauges are not
working, the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In
this condition the air bags may not be
ready to inflate for your protection. Have
an authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
Warning!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your
instrument panel could mean you won’t have
the air bag system to protect you in a collision.
If the light does not come on as a bulb check
when the ignition is first turned on, stays on
after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as
you drive, have an authorized dealer service
the air bag system immediately.
Redundant Air Bag Warning Light
If a fault with the Air Bag Warning Light is
detected, which could affect the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
the Redundant Air Bag Warning Light will
illuminate on the instrument panel. The
Redundant Air Bag Warning Light will
stay on until the fault is cleared. In
addition, a single chime will sound to alert
you that the Redundant Air Bag Warning Light has come on and a fault has been
detected. If the Redundant Air Bag
Warning Light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving have an
authorized dealer service the vehicle
immediately.

air directed against the windshield. See
your authorized dealer for service if your
defroster is inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
your vehicle. Only use a floor mat that
does not interfere with the operation of
the accelerator, brake or clutch pedals.
Only use a floor mat that is securely
attached using the floor mat fasteners so
it cannot slip out of position and interfere
with the accelerator, brake or clutch
pedals or impair safe operation of your
vehicle in other ways.
Warning!
An improperly attached, damaged, folded, or
stacked floor mat, or damaged floor mat
fasteners may cause your floor mat to
interfere with the accelerator, brake, or
clutch pedals and cause a loss of vehicle
control. To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
ALWAYS securely attachyour floor
mat using the floor mat fasteners. DO NOT
install your floor mat upside down or turn
your floor mat over. Lightly pull to confirm
mat is secured using the floor mat fasteners
on a regular basis.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE EXISTING FLOOR
MAT FROM THE VEHICLEbefore
installing any other floor mat. NEVER install
or stack an additional floor mat on top of an
existing floor mat.
ONLY install floor mats designed to fit
your vehicle. NEVER install a floor mat that
cannot be properly attached and secured to
your vehicle. If a floor mat needs to be
replaced, only use a FCA approved floor mat
for the specific make, model, and year of
your vehicle.
ONLY use the driver’s side floor mat on
the driver’s side floor area. To check for
interference, with the vehicle properly
parked with the engine off, fully depress the
accelerator, the brake, and the clutch pedal
(if present) to check for interference. If your
floor mat interferes with the operation of
any pedal, or is not secure to the floor,
remove the floor mat from the vehicle and
place the floor mat in your trunk.
ONLY use the passenger’s side floor mat
on the passenger’s side floor area.
ALWAYS make sure objects cannot fall or
slide into the driver’s side floor area when
the vehicle is moving. Objects can become
trapped under accelerator, brake, or clutch
pedals and could cause a loss of vehicle
control.
NEVER place any objects under the floor
mat (e.g., towels, keys, etc.). These objects
could change the position of the floor mat
and may cause interference with the
accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals.
