Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG. The system checks the
air bag’s electrical system
for
malfunctions. The light
tells you
if
there is an electrical problem. The system
check includes the air bag sensors, the air bag modules,
the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module.
For
more information on the air bag system, see “Air
Bag” in the Index.
AIR
BAG
This light will come on
when you start your engine,
and it will flash for a few
seconds. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.
The air bag readiness light should flash for a
few
seconds when you
turn
the
ignition key to RUN.
If
the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so
it will be
ready to warn you if there
is
a problem.
Charging System Indicator Light
When you turn the key to
RUN,
this light will come
on briefly
to
show that
the generator and battery
charging systems
are working.
If this light stays on, you need service and you should
take your Cadillac to the dealer at once.
To
save your
battery until you get there, turn
off
all accessories.
If
the air bag readiness light stays on after you start the
engine or comes on when you
are
driving, your air bag
system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
