The supplemental restraint system has found a fault. Airbags and seat belt pretensioners may not deploy in a crash.

Can I keep driving? Limit driving and diagnose promptly. Continued driving can cause damage, stalling or limp mode.

What to do

  1. The car can be driven, but occupant protection may be reduced.
  2. Have the SRS codes read by a workshop.
  3. Don't probe airbag wiring yourself: airbags can deploy unexpectedly.

Symbols and colours vary between manufacturers. Your owner's manual shows the exact symbols used in your car. In general, red means stop or act now, amber/yellow means check soon, and green/blue lights are information only.
