functioning part completely.
6. Turn ignition switch ``ON''. ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp operates
in User mode. Compare ``AIR BAG'' warning lamp operation
to the chart below.
NOTE:
If switching Diagnosis mode to User mode is required while
malfunction is being detected, turn ignition switch from
``OFF'' to ``ON''. Then press driver's door switch at least 5
times within 7 seconds after turning ignition switch ``ON''.
