It is a possibility that the Airbag light does do a self diagnostic (Most cars do), and that it does not come on is because the bulb is burned out (The reason self-checks are performed). Check the bulb first, or try replacing it with a known good bulb, then try it again.
Take the car to the dealer or a qualified repair facility that has a diagnostic set up called Vida and uses a VCT2000 data interface that connects to the OBD2 unit. Have the codes read and find out what caused the fault that turned the airbag light on.
The infl rest light is just your airbag safety system it should blink a few times when the ignition is turned to on and then it should go out!!
To safely install a forward facing child seat in the front seat, you can switch off the airbag using the key in the switch on the right hand side of the dashboard, it's only accessible with the door open and the ignition turned off.
i was checking fuses on 1994 toyota camry and airbag light turned on.

When the airbag light comes in in a car, it means that there is a problem with the airbag. In order to get the light turned off, one must take it to a technician.
As they're pretty useful things to have most of them can't be turned off. European cars might have passenger airbags that can be turned off, but if you want to have the driver's airbag turned off you'll have to find someone willing to disconnect it for you.
If there is no key hole then it will stay active all the time. If there is a key then turn the key to the on position. It usually lights up when the unit has been turned off. If it does have one it will be in plain site near the airbag area. My 2002 liberty doesnt have a selector. Hope this helps.
Airbag light on 2003~2005 Punto constantly comes on after moving seats or opening glove compartment, Fiat will charge you to connect a diagnostic tool and simply turn it of, Knowing full well it will only happen again and again, Its a rip off.
