Is it safe to ignore a lit air bag light?

With all the lights on your dashboard it can be easy to ignore one. However, a lit air bag light is not something to brush off and think is no big deal. If it is on, and you take no action you may be playing with your life as well as the passengers in your vehicle. An airbag is a critical component in keeping you safe during an accident. While the light may not signal something major, it can mean that your airbag may not deploy in case of an accident.
Keep a lookout for the light on your dash. It will either say Air Bag or SRS (which stands for Supplemental Restraint System). In other vehicles, it may be a diagram of a person with an airbag deployed or even the text “air bag deactivated” or “airbag off”.
There are a few reasons why the airbag light may come on. It may indicate that there is a problem with your seat belts. Another issue could be water damage to the sensors. The SRS light can also light up if the vehicle has been in an accident recently. A vehicle may be in an accident that causes the crash sensors to activate, but not to the point where the airbag has been deployed. If this is the case, you will need a SRS Airbag Module Reset.
A mechanic can determine why the SRS light has come on. In the case of a sensor problem, it will need to be replaced. Or if it needs to be reset, contact Safety Restore to get it reset for a fraction of the cost of a regular mechanic. Safety Restore can do your SRS Airbag Module Reset for only $49.99. Services are 100% guaranteed and require no additional programming.
Whenever the airbag light comes on, take the time t

o determine the next steps needed in order to ensure the safety of you as well as those riding alongside you. (edited)
