CAUTION:
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you
start your vehicle, it means the air bag system
may not be working properly. The air bags in
your vehicle may not inflate in a crash, or they
could even inflate without a crash. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle
serviced right away if the air bag readiness light
stays on after you start your vehicle.
The air bag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition key to ON.
If the light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so
it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
Voltmeter Gage (3800 V6 Engine)
You can read battery
voltage on the
voltmeter gage.
If the gage reads less than 12 volts or more than 16 volts
while the engine is running, and it stays there, you may
have a problem with the electrical charging system.
Also, when your gage reads less than 11 volts or
more than 16 volts, your battery life indicator will be
illuminated in the message center. For more information
see “Battery Life Indicator” in the Index.
