SAFETY 117
The ORC also includes diagnostics that will illumi-
nate the instrument panel Air Bag Warning Light
if a malfunction is detected that could affect the
air bag system. The diagnostics also record the
nature of the malfunction. While the air bag
system is designed to be maintenance free, if any
of the following occurs, have an authorized
dealer service the air bag system immediately.
The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on
during the four to eight seconds when the ignition
switch is first in the MAR/ACC/ON/RUN position.
The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the
four to eight-second interval.
The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermit-
tently or remains on while driving.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine
related gauges are not working, the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled.
In this condition the air bags may not be ready to
inflate for your protection. Have an authorized
dealer service the air bag system immediately.
Redundant Air Bag Warning Light
If a fault with the Air Bag Warning
Light is detected, which could affect
the Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS), the Redundant Air Bag Warning
Light will illuminate on the instrument panel.
The Redundant Air Bag Warning Light will stay
on until the fault is cleared. In addition, a single
chime will sound to alert you that the Redun-
dant Air Bag Warning Light has come on and a
fault has been detected. If the Redundant Air
Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving have an authorized
dealer service the vehicle immediately.
For additional information regarding the Redundant
Air Bag Warning Light refer to “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” section of this manual.

ment. The words “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” are

instrument panel could mean you won’t have

when the ignition is first turned on, stays on
after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as
you drive, have an authorized dealer service
