AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
The airbag warning lamp indicates a potential fault with the vehicle's restraint system. A fault with the restraint system could result in serious injury or death in the event of a severe accident.
If the airbag warning lamp indicates that a fault is present in the system, do not use a child restraint on the front passenger seat. In the event of a severe accident, serious injury or death could result.
The instrument panel displays the airbag warning lamp as a bulb check when the ignition is switched on. See AIRBAG (AMBER).
If any of the following airbag warning lamp conditions occur, the vehicle should be checked by a retailer/authorised repairer immediately:
The warning lamp fails to illuminate when the ignition is switched on.
The warning lamp fails to extinguish within 6 seconds of the ignition being switched on.
The warning lamp illuminates at any time other than during the bulb check when the ignition is switched on.
When the ignition is switched on, a diagnostic control unit monitors the readiness of the system’s electrical circuits. The elements of the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) being monitored include:
Airbag warning lamp.
Rotary coupler.
Airbag modules.
Front and outboard rear seat belt pre-tensioners.
Front seat belt buckle switches.
Front seat track position sensor.
Airbag diagnostic control unit.
Crash and rollover sensors.
Airbag wiring harness.
Airbag status indicator lamp.
