vehicle, and it will flash for
a few seconds. Then
the light should go out.

vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your air
bag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you
start your vehicle, it means the air bag system

could even inflate without a crash.

vehicle serviced right away if the air bag
readiness light stays on after you start your
vehicle.
