WARNING: If the side
airbag has deployed, the

airbag will not function again.
The side airbag system
(including the seat) must be
inspected and serviced by an
authorized dealer.
If the airbag
is not replaced, the unrepaired
area will increase the risk of injury
in a collision.

Determining if the system is operational

The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the condition of the system. Refer to the Warning lights and
chimes
section in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance
of the airbag is not required.

Any difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the
following:
• The readiness light (same light as used for front airbag system) will

either flash or stay lit.

• The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is

turned to the on position.

• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat

periodically until the problem and light are repaired.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced
at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not
function properly in the event of a collision.
