Although the systems are independent,
their protective functions work in conjunc-
tion with each other.
The SRS system conducts a self-test when
the ignition is switched on and in regular
intervals while the engine is running. This
facilitates detection of system malfunc-
tions. The 1 indicator lamp in the in-
strument cluster comes on when the
ignition is switched on and goes out no lat-
er than a few seconds after the engine has
been started.
The SRS components are in operational
readiness if the 1 indicator lamp is not
lit when the engine is running.
A malfunction in the system has been
detected if the 1 indicator lamp:
앫 fails to go out after approximately
4 seconds after the engine was started
앫 does not come on at all
앫 comes on after the engine was started
or while driving
