indicator. SeePassenger Sensing
System 054.
When the vehicle is started, this light
flashes and a chime may come on to
remind passengers to fasten their
seat belt.
Then the light stays on solid until the

for several seconds when the vehicle is
started. If the light does not come on
then, have it fixed immediately.
{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

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, and the off symbol, 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, all of the
symbols remain lit, or if no symbols
are lit, or if the airbag readiness light
is on, there may be a problem with
the lights or the passenger sensing
system. See your dealer for service
right away.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means

.Critical emission control systems
have not been completely
diagnosed. If this happens, the
vehicle would not be ready for

several days of routine driving
before the system is ready for
inspection. This can happen if the
12-volt battery has recently been
replaced or run down, or if the
vehicle has been recently serviced.
See your dealer if the vehicle will not
pass or cannot be made ready for
the test.
