If
the word
OFF
or the
off
symbol is lit on the air bag
status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing
system has turned
off the right front passenger's frontal
air bag. See Passenger Sensing System on page
1-59
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.
If the
off
indicator and the
a..
Jag readiness
light ever come on together, it means that
something may be wrong with the air bag
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 air
bag. See "Air Bag Readiness Light" in the Index.
I
Charging System Light
The charging system light
will come on briefly when
you turn on the ignition,
but the engine is not
running, as a check to
show you it is working.
It should go out once the engine is running.
If
it stays on,
or comes on while you are driving, you may have a
problem with the charging system. It could indicate that
you have problems with a generator drive belt, or another
electrical problem. Have it checked right away. Driving
while this light is on could drain your battery.
When this light comes on the
DIC will also display the
battery not charging message. See
DIC
Warnings
and Messages on page
3-56.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn
off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.
