Frequently asked questions
Airbag light on in Hyderabad — are my airbags safe?
An illuminated airbag warning light means the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) has detected a fault. Your airbags may NOT deploy in an accident, and your seatbelt pre-tensioners may not activate. This is a serious safety issue. Common causes: clock spring failure (wiring coil in steering column that breaks after high mileage), or a seat sensor fault. Metre Per Second reads the exact SRS fault code (₹1,000–₹2,000) to identify the failing component.
