Default Air bag light/ beeping on hard turns????

i was getting off the freeway on a 25 mph turn and I hit it about 50+ and accelerating to pass someone and the light and beeping started. Has anyone every had this happen? My wife was driving behind me and she said the Box looked like there was ne sway at all!! :D Those Hotchkis sways do the jobs but I'm worried about the air bags coming out on too hard a turn. :?

I think that would be the traction control warning you to slow down or clean dirt out of your ears.

Man the first time you get hard into a corner and that traction control beep happens it scares the hell outta you. After that though it's just annoying...

It has nothing to do with airbags.

The beeping will only happen if the Stability control system activates. Traction control only flashes an idiot light.
