Other warnings and indicators

Airbag Readiness Light

Automatic Emergency Braking or Front Pedestrian Braking is turned off, or unavailable due to malfunction, weather or a dirty windshield. PDF page 107

Green: system on

Regular Cruise Control Indicator
Lit when regular cruise control is engaged, without the following gap displayed.
