GMC 2005 Sierra 1500 Pickup, Owner'S Manual, Page: 203 / 574

If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that the passenger
sensing system or the airbag off switch has turned off
the right front passenger’s airbag. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 1-76 or Airbag Off Switch on
page 1-73 for more on this, including important
safety information.
{
CAUTION:
If the right front passenger’s airbag is turned
off for a person who is not in a risk group
identified by the national government, that
person will not have the extra protection of an
airbag. In a crash, the airbag will not be able to
inflate and help protect the person sitting
there. Do not turn off the passenger’s airbag
unless the person sitting there is in a risk
group. See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-73 for
more on this, including important safety
information.
If, after several seconds, all status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the passenger sensing
system. See your dealer for service.
{
CAUTION:
If the airbag off indicator and the airbag
readiness light ever come on together, it
means that something may be wrong with the
airbag system. If this ever happens, have the
vehicle serviced promptly, because an
adult-size person sitting in the right front
passenger seat may not have the protection of
the airbag. See Airbag Readiness Light on
page 3-34.
