the passenger sensing system, the
pretensioners, the airbag modules, the
wiring, and the crash sensing and diagnostic
module. For more information on the airbag
system, seeAirbag System 053.
The airbag readiness light comes on 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 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 057 for
important safety information. The overhead
console has a passenger airbag status
indicator.
United States
Canada and Mexico
When the vehicle is started, the passenger
airbag status indicator will light ON and OFF,
or the symbols for on and off, for several seconds as a system check. Then, after
several more seconds, the status indicator
will light either ON or OFF, or the on or off
symbol, to let you know the status of the
front outboard passenger frontal airbag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on
the passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag is allowed to inflate.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on
the airbag status indicator, it means that
the passenger sensing system has turned off
the front outboard passenger frontal airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, if there are no
lights at all, 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 that
something may be wrong with the airbag
system. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have the vehicle serviced right

be on. The parking lamps, taillamps,
instrument panel lights, or other exterior
lamps will not be on when the DRL are

When it is dark enough outside, the front
lamps dim to parking lamps and the normal

otherwise the headlamps will come on when
they are not needed.
The system may also turn on the headlamps
and parking lamps when driving through a
parking garage or tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system comes on
immediately. If it is light outside when the
vehicle leaves the garage, there is a slight
delay before the automatic headlamp
system changes to the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL). During that delay, the
instrument cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument panel
brightness control is in the full bright
position. See Instrument Panel Illumination
Control 0113.
