WARNING: Several air bag system components get hot after

inflation. Do not touch them after inflation.

WARNING: If the side

airbag has deployed, the

airbag will not function again.

The side airbag system

(including the seat) must be

inspected and serviced by an

authorized dealer. If the airbag

is not replaced, the unrepaired

area will increase the risk of injury

in a collision.

Determining if the system is operational

The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to

indicate the condition of the system. Refer to the Airbag readiness

section in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the

airbag is not required.

Any difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the

following:

• The readiness light (same light as used for front airbag system) will

either flash or stay lit.

• The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is

turned to the on position.

• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat

periodically until the problem and light are repaired.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced

at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not

function properly in the event of a collision.
