flashes and a chime may come on to
remind passengers to fasten their seat
belt. Then the light stays on solid
until the belt is buckled. This cycle
continues several times if the
passenger remains or becomes
unbuckled while the vehicle is moving.
If the passenger seat belt is buckled,
neither the chime nor the light

132 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light stays
on after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, it means
the airbag system might not be
working properly. The airbags in the
vehicle might not inflate in a crash,
or they could even inflate without a
crash. To help avoid injury, have
the vehicle serviced right away.
If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a Driver Information Center
(DIC) message may also come on.
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger sensing
system. See Passenger Sensing System
0 87 for important safety information.
The overhead console has a passenger
airbag status indicator.
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator will
light ON and OFF for several seconds
as a system check. Then, after several
more seconds, the status indicator will
light either ON or OFF to let you know
the status of the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and knee
airbag.
If the word ON is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that
the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag are allowed to
inflate.
If the word OFF is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that
the passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and knee
airbag. If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there
are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the
passenger sensing system. See your
dealer for service.{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have
the vehicle serviced right away. See
Airbag Readiness Light
0131 for
more information, including
important safety information.
