but the brake system still operates con-
ventionally.

the parts monitored by the warning
light system. Contact your authorized

to service the vehicle.

possible.
(j) SRS Warning Light

tion key is turned to the “ACC” or
“ON” position. After about 6 seconds,
the light will go off. This means the
systems of the airbag and front seat
belt pretensioner are operating properly.

bag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, seat belt pretensioner assemblies,
inflators, warning light, interconnecting wir-
ing and power sources.
