Chevrolet 2007 Avalanche, Owner'S Manual

Page: 82 / 628

The passenger sensing system is designed to turn
off the right front passenger’s airbag if:
•
the right front passenger seat is unoccupied
•
the system determines that an infant is present
in a rear-facing infant seat
•
the system determines that a small child is
present in a forward-facing child restraint
•
the system determines that a small child is
present in a booster seat
•
a right front passenger takes his/her weight off
of the seat for a period of time
•
the right front passenger seat is occupied by a
smaller person, such as a child who has
outgrown child restraints
•
or if there is a critical problem with the airbag
system or the passenger sensing system.
When the passenger sensing system has turned
off the passenger’s airbag, the off indicator will light
and stay lit to remind you that the airbag is off.
If a child restraint has been installed and the
on indicator is lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove the
child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the
child restraint following the child restraint
manufacturer’s directions and refer to
Securing a
Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position
on page 66
.
If after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting
the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to
make sure that the vehicle’s seatback is not
pressing the child restraint into the seat cushion. If
this happens, slightly recline the vehicle’s
seatback and adjust the seat cushion if possible.
Also make sure the child restraint is not trapped
under the vehicle head restraint. If this happens,
adjust the head restraint.
If the on indicator is still lit, secure the child in the
child restraint in a rear seat position in the
vehicle and check with your dealer.
