driver's seat and make sure everything's
0:32
off radio climate lights now turn the
0:34
key to the on position don't start the

engine just turn it until all the
0:38
dashboard lights come on watch the

airbag light it'll stay lit for a few
0:43
seconds usually around 7 as soon as it
0:45
turns off immediately turn the key back
0:49
wait five full seconds then repeat the
0:54
watch the airbag light when it shuts off
1:00

engine if the light stays off you're all
1:31
