You will see this light flash for a few seconds when you turn your ignition
to
RUN
or START. Then
the
light should go out. This means the system is
ready.
If the air bag readiness light doesn’t come
on
when
you
start your vehicle,
or stays on, or comes
on
when you are driving, your air bag system may not
work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away.

BRAKE
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system
is
divided into two parts. If one part
isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking,
though, you need both parts working well.
Your vehicle also has rear-wheel or four-wheel anti-lock brakes. See
“Anti-Lock Brakes” in the Index. If the warning light comes on, there could
be a brake problem with either your regular or rear-wheel anti-lock brakes,
or both. Have your brake system inspected right away.
This light should come
on
briefly
as
you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come
on then, have it fixed
so
it will be ready to warn
you
if there’s
a
problem.
If
the light comes
on
while
you
are driving, pull
off
the
road
and
stop
carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder
to
push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light
is
still
on,
have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
