The blog this week is about what does the Airbag Warning Light mean, if it comes on, on the dashboard of your Volvo or Toyota? Few people actually take
the time to go through their Volvo or Toyota owners’ manual and familiarise themselves with what the various lights on their dashboard mean. They seek
assistance only when an issue arises. However many people ignore these lights also, possibly in the hope they may just go away. There can be expensive
consequences to ignoring some of these lights along with safety issues. Please don’t ever ignore a warning light!
Airbag light – not all Volvo’s
or Toyotas will have an airbag warning light. However if this light comes on, on your dashboard it is indicating that there is a faulty airbag. It
could mean that your airbag will not deploy during an accident which of course puts you or your passengers at risk of an injury. It could also mean
that your airbag could deploy at any time, which could lead you to have an accident. Some vehicles may have an SRS light which stands for Supplemental
Restraint System which means there could be an issue with your seatbelts. Again, you are risking injury to yourself and your passengers if you do not
get this light investigated. If the airbag deploys on your Volvo or Toyota it is more expensive to rectify than if you had taken it to your local independent
garage as soon as the light came on. If you have been involved in a collision but the force of impact was not sufficient enough to deploy the airbags
but the lights have come on then you must take your Volvo or Toyota to an independent garage and have them reset it. Please do not try and do this
yourself, the force of the airbag could injure you – leave it to the professionals to investigate and repair. A mechanic will be able to see if there
is a sensor issue and rectify as required. If your Volvo or Toyota has suffered extensive water damage it may have corroded the sensor – again this
is a job for the professionals to investigate at your local independent garage.
