Air bag system fault warning light

During starting (key in ON position), the red coloured "Air Bag failure" warning light comes on for about 4 seconds (initial self-test stage) and then goes out.

The warning light remains on or comes on, during the normal operation of the vehicle, in the following cases:

• the control unit detects a fault in the Air Bag system
• the control unit detects an impact which activates the system, even partially (pretensioners only)
• the control unit detects a fault in the actual warning light connection circuit.

NOTE:

If the control unit detects a fault, it can, in certain cases, disable the system: therefore it is suggested that the User go to the closest Service Centre as soon as possible to have the fault repaired because the system is no longer capable of

working properly.

Once the fault is signalled, the warning light remains on until the fault is repaired or cancelled from the errors memory using the Examiner or other diagnostic equipment.
