Also known as
- Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Warning Light
When this light turns red, it indicates that at least one component of the airbag safety system is malfunctioning. This could include:
- The airbag system itself.
- The front passenger occupant classification system, which detects the passenger’s weight and position to ensure safe airbag deployment.
- The seat belt pretensioner system, which tightens the seatbelt in the event of a crash.
Can I still drive with my Airbag Light on?
Driving with the airbag warning light on is not recommended. If the system is not functioning properly:
- The airbags may fail to deploy in a collision.
- In rare cases, they could deploy unexpectedly, increasing the risk of an accident.
