Airbag Warning Light

The airbag warning lamp in the instrument cluster should warn you if there is a problem with the airbag, SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), if possible.
When the ignition is switched ON, the warning lamp should illuminate for approximately 6 seconds and then go out. Check the following cases if the lamp does not behave as described:
- The warning lamp illuminates for a short time after the ignition is switched ON.
- The warning lamp illuminates continuously after approximately 6 seconds.
- The warning lamp illuminates while driving.
- The warning lamp flashes when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Passenger front airbag ON indicator light (if equipped)


The "Passenger Front Airbag ON" indicator light illuminates for approximately 4 seconds after the ignition is switched ON.
The "Passenger Front Airbag ON" indicator light also illuminates when the passenger front airbag ON/OFF switch is in the ON position, and goes out after approximately 60 seconds.
Passenger front airbag OFF indicator light (if equipped)


The passenger front airbag OFF indicator light illuminates for approximately 4 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
The passenger front airbag OFF indicator light also illuminates when the passenger front airbag ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF position, and goes out when the passenger front airbag ON/OFF switch is set to the ON position.
DANGER
If the passenger front airbag ON/OFF switch does not operate properly, the indicator light will illuminate and the passenger front airbag will not deploy (the passenger front airbag ON indicator light illuminates and goes out after approximately 60 seconds), and the passenger front airbag will deploy in a frontal impact even if the passenger front airbag ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF position.
In this case, have the passenger front airbag switch and the SRS airbag system inspected by a specialized workshop.
