If the side air bag has

deployed, the air bag will

not function again. The side

air bag system (including the

seat) must be inspected and

serviced by a qualified

technician in accordance with

the vehicle service manual. If

the air bag 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 Air bag

readiness section in the

Instrumentation chapter. Routine

maintenance of the air bag is not

required.
A difficulty with the system is

indicated by one or more of the

following:
• The readiness light will either

flash or stay lit.
• The readiness light will not

illuminate immediately after

ignition is turned on.
