My airbag warning light is on, is it safe to drive?

When the airbag warning light is illuminated on the dashboard it means that there is or has had a fault in the system.

Down to owner’s discretion to be driven, we can come to you or you can bring the car to us to have the fault codes read and repaired if needed.

The most important things needed will be:

  2. Check your battery is in good condition
  3. Are your tyre depths and air pressure’s correct?
  4. Make sure all your lights are working including your fog light.
  5. Check your oil and brake fluid levels are at the correct level and not forgetting your coolant (anti freeze) content so it is at correct freezing level. If you are going to top this up make sure you use the correct one as there are varied types and makes out there.
