Basically an airbag light (like your engine light)......If it is on, your airbags WILL NOT deploy no matter what - federal law.

The light comes on because of a problem (like unplugging the wire under the seat set the code for a bad seat sensor). To keep from deploying the bags while driving down the road, if there is any problems with the system, the bags cannot deploy. Early airbags would deploy because a sensor went bad!!!

I kept having this problem with my car...a total of three times, and what it turned out to be...putting electrical devices on or near the seat..(ie. cell phone, laptop) anything that remotly puts out electrical interference will reset the light...strobe lights could interfere..my cell fone battery blinks with LEDs and thats what set it off...
