strange warning light.

Post by fatbugger »

Hello everyone. Noticed an unusual warning light on the dash of my 407. I hve got the 5 dial dash and it's on right hand side above oil temp indicator. The light illuminates with ignition on and goes off instantly engine cranks over. It is a picture of a seated person with safety belt. Facing left with big circle on their lap with an x in the circle. To the right it says x2. Cant find in handbook. Any ideas please?

Sounds like the driver and passenger (hence x2) airbag function light.
Goes off when the ECU detects that they're functioning correctly. Just an educated guess though :roll:

Tis airbag light I think (as above)

Usually if you turn the passenger one off the light will stay on (or another one will) as a reminder.

A pic will clarify if possible :)

Hi both and thanks. I think you are right because if there was a problem it would not go out. Tried to add picture but dont know what I am doing.

Fixed that for you :)

That is the passenger airbag light.

Turn engine off (you`ll have to as you need the key to do 'switch' the air bag anyway) and then use your key to turn the red airbag switch

Then switch the ignition on again and see the difference in the light.

Return airbag switch to the correct position when done.
