5-18 Instruments and Controls
If the word OFF or the off symbol
is lit on the passenger airbag
status indicator, it means that
the passenger sensing system
has turned off the right front
passenger frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag
(if equipped). SeePassenger
Sensing System on page 3‑30 for
more on this, including important
safety information.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there
are no lights at all, there may be
a problem with the lights or the
passenger sensing system.
See your dealer for service.{WARNING
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right
away. See Airbag Readiness
Light on page 5‑16 for more
information, including important
safety information.
Malfunction
Indicator Lamp
A computer system called OBD II
(On-Board Diagnostics-Second
Generation) monitors operation
of the fuel, ignition, and emission
control systems. It makes sure that
emissions are at acceptable levels
for the life of the vehicle, helping to
produce a cleaner environment.
This comes on briefly while starting
the engine. If it does not come on,
have the vehicle serviced by your
dealer.
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
comes on and stays on, while the
engine is running, this indicates that
there is an OBD II problem and
service is required.
Malfunctions often are indicated by
the system before any problem is
apparent. Being aware of the light
can prevent more serious damage
to the vehicle. This system assists
the service technician in correctly
diagnosing any malfunction.
