A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:
• The readiness light (same light for front and side airbag system) will either flash or stay lit.
• The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned on.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the supplemental restraint system serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision.
