Owner's Manual

See Passenger Sensing System on page 75 for
more on this, including important safety
information.
If, after several seconds, all status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there
may be a problem with the lights or the passenger
sensing system. See your dealer for service.
{CAUTION:
If the off indicator and the airbag
readiness light ever come on together, it
means that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. If this ever happens,
have the vehicle serviced promptly,
because an adult-size person sitting in the
right front passenger seat may not have
the protection of the frontal airbag. See
Airbag Readiness Light on page 182.
Charging System Light
This light comes on
briefly when the ignition
is turned on, as a
check to show that it is
working. Then it
should go out.
If it stays on, or comes on while the vehicle is being
driven, a chime will sound and there may be a
problem with the charging system. It could indicate
that the vehicle has a loose accessory belt or
another electrical problem. Have it checked right
away. Driving while this light is on could drain the
battery and result in the engine suddenly stopping.
If the vehicle must be driven a short distance with
the light on, be certain to turn off all unnecessary
electrical loads, such as the radio, heater fan,
air conditioning fan, and heated seats.
