Passenger Sensing System
Your vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the
right front passenger position. The passenger airbag
status indicator will be visible when you turn your ignition
key to ON or START. The airbag off symbol will be
visible near the clock, located in the center of the
instrument panel during the system check. When the
system check is complete, the airbag off symbol will
be visible under certain conditions. See
Passenger
Airbag Status Indicator on page 3-33 .
The passenger sensing system will turn off the
right front passenger’s frontal airbag and side airbag
(if equipped) under certain conditions. The driver’s
frontal airbag and side airbag (if equipped) are not
part of the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with a sensor
that is part of the right front passenger’s seat cushion.
The sensor is designed to detect the presence of
a properly-seated occupant and determine if the
passenger’s frontal airbag and side impact airbag
(if equipped) should be enabled (may inflate) or not.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if
they are restrained in the rear, rather than the front
seat. General Motors recommends that child restraints
be secured in a rear seat, including an infant riding
in a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward-facing child seat, and an older child riding
in a booster seat.
Your vehicle has a rear seat that will accommodate a
rear-facing child restraint. A label on your sun visor says,
“Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front.” This
is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag deploys.
