Purpose

The SRS malfunction indicator lamp (A1e15) indicates the readiness of the supplemental restraint system.

If the system is free of faults, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on from position "1" of the ignition/starter or glow/starter switch and goes out again after approx. 4 to 20 seconds.

If the malfunction indicator lamp does not come on from position "1", or does not go out after 4 to 20 seconds, there is a defect or a fault in the supplemental restraint system.

Defects or faults which do not jeopardize the protection of the occupants, are indicated by the malfunction indicator lamp coming on and remaining on for approximately 2 minutes, from position 1 of the ignition/starter or glow/starter switch.

Faults or defects which may result in the safety elements not being activated or being incorrectly activated, are indicated when driving by the malfunction indicator lamp coming on and remaining on.

NOTE In the event of a fault or defect, the entire system should be checked immediately with the HHT. The mechanical protective function of the three-point seat belts is not affected by a fault or a defect in the supplemental restraint system and is always retained.
