Airbag light: what it means and what to do
Check soonSAFETY FIRST
Airbag light on: everyone buckles up, and children ride in the back in the right car seat until it’s fixed.
What it means
An airbag may not work in a crash.
Is it safe to drive?
It is usually OK to drive carefully, but get it checked soon.
What to do
- Get it checked as soon as you can
- Check for an open airbag recall in My Garage
General help, not a diagnosis. Every car is a little different: your owner’s manual has the exact meaning of each light, and a mechanic can tell you for sure. Costs in the app are rough estimates. Check for open recalls with your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (repairs for recalls are free at the dealer).
