This is all you need to do.

1. Put key in. Turn the key to ON position and watch the airbag light turn on solid (not blinking).
2. As SOON as it starts blinking, turn the key off within one second.
3. Take key out
4. Repeat steps 1 -3 three more times
5. On your fourth time turn the key and the light will go on and turn off , for good within a few seconds.

I and my wife were in an accident about couple of months ago, and I was driving at 50 kmh and hit another car from side, I got hit at the bumper, guess what air bag deployed and this is the first time I seen them in operation in reality, and I don't want tis to happen again, I and my wife injured in the accident not b/c of the accident but due to air bag deployment, I had second degree burn about 3 inch in dia on my left wrist and my wife got hit direct on her face with superfacial burn and scratches around her chin, she was wearing eye glasses and they broke due air bag hit her and glass poke thru her righ eye and she fallen un concious b/c of the direct hit on her face and paramedics had to rush her to hospital and she ended up in ER for 6 hrs.
Air bags may be life saving in hi speed crash but for local city crash they are dangerous. this is my conclusion, and they are not cheap to put back once deployed, range from min of one thousnd dollar each.

@abhatti

It is for this very reason that airbag deployment systems these days (I know of European marques) use signal filters to determine if deployment is really necessary. You are right in saying that a badly fired airbag will injure as easily as saving lives. Although I have to ask, did you have a seatbelt on? It seems to me that it must have been fairly strong as a crash to cause those burns and injuries with seatbelts. Without seatbelts, those injuries would be easy to explain.

Drive safe!

Thats ... shocking ... werent u wearing seatbelts ? Cus if you sit in a car and it deploys airbags when its not moving the airbag isnt even close to your face.

Look for signs on the steering wheel and dashboard that say "airbag" or SIR (supplemental inflatable restraint) or SRS (supplemental restraint system). Also check the vehicle owner's manual or call a dealer for that make of vehicle.

* If the car has airbags, then watch for an airbag indicator light on the dashboard. This will be a pictogram or the word airbag, that comes on for a few seconds, when the ignition key is turned on, and then goes out.

  When the light is on, the vehicle computer is checking the entire airbag system. When it has completed this check satisfactorily, the light goes out. If it detects a problem, it continues to flash a "trouble code" until the problem is fixed.
* If the airbag indicator light stays on, or continues to flash off and on for more than a few seconds, this may mean there is a problem with the airbag system that needs to be fixed before you buy the car.

* If the light NEVER comes on, it may indicate a serious problem. If the airbag is missing, the bulb may have been removed so it cannot flash its warning to you. If the airbag bulb has been removed, you do not want to have anything to do with that car, or any other car from that person.

mardo apni car ko truck mai.......agar air bag deploy huway to bach jao gay..........nahin huway deploy to TATA BYE BYE:P

[abhatti]

of course we had seat belts on, its the law here. otherwise if you get caught w/o seat belts $110 fine and 3 demerit pts.

She mainly got hit b/c she was sitting closer to dash she moved forward seat. also when air bag deploys, there is a powder comes out with it.
