Hi this one is easy .... if you know it!

Can you take a look at the pics and tell me what this warning is about? (Not the handbrake one....!)

Thanks

thats your airbag light

If it flashes when you start the car and goes out after a few seconds - normal

If it comes on when you turn ignition in and is lit continuously when engine is started - Means you have your passenger air bag switched off

Passenger airbag is manually disabled

This is when you have a baby seat fitted
Its to prevent the baby seats been smashed by airbags in a crash

Open the passenger door
On the dashboard thays covered up by the door is a key switch
Stick your key in and turn it
When ignition is then turned on itll flash as it arms/self checks then go out meaning its in operation


The big worry one is the red light next to it

Brilliant! problem solved.

The electronic thing was showing a false driver airbag problem lighting the red blobby airbag light which failed the MOT: now sorted by plugging it in and resetting the electrics - £24.

In cluelessly fiddling about, I turned off the passenger airbag. Turned it back on again now.

Thanks very much.

Showing a false problem
Dpwt that
Airbag systems are usually good at been near direct with faults

If it was a low voltage fault then u can sorta ignore it
But dont be surprised if the light comes back on
