CAUTION:

If the airbag readiness light ever comes on
when you have turned off the airbag, it means
that something may be wrong with the airbag
system. The right front passenger’s airbag
could inflate even though the switch is off. If
this ever happens, do not let anyone whom the
national government has identified as a
member of a passenger airbag risk group sit in
the right front passenger’s position (for
example, do not secure a rear-facing child
restraint in your vehicle) until you have your
vehicle serviced. See Airbag Off Switch
on
page 1-69

Charging System Light

This light should come on
briefly when you turn on
the ignition, before starting
the engine, as a check
to show you it is working.

After the engine starts, the light should go out. If it stays
on or comes on while you are driving, you may have
a problem with your charging system. It could indicate a
problem with the generator drive belt, or some other
charging system problem. Have it checked right away.
Driving while this light is on could drain your battery.

If you must drive a short distance with this light
on, it helps to turn off all your accessories, such as the
radio and air conditioner.
