The light probably means that one of your airbags failed the power-on self test. Chances are it's a bad connection. It does not affect the operation of any of the other airbags. Unless you are planning on having a major collision in the next nine days, I wouldn't worry about it. But do take it in and get it fixed.

'06? Isn't it still under warranty? If yes, who cares what it costs?

I heard somewhere that ALL of the safety electronic features are LIFELONG warranteed, not like the mechanical components, according to the US laws. I don't know is that correct or not.
Besides, waiting for 9 days for the airbag problem corrected is dangerous, the dealer should provide a loaner car. If something happened, who knows the outcome ?
