indicator light is illuminated, remove the child restraint system
and reinstall it with the ignition key in the “ACC” or “LOCK”
position. If the indicator light is not illuminated when the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position, then the SRS front
passenger airbag and side airbag on the passenger side may
