Airbag Readiness Light; Passenger Airbag Status; Indicator - GMC Cadillac CT5 2021 Manual

102 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Front Passenger Seat Belt
Reminder Light
The vehicle may have a front
passenger seat belt reminder light
near the passenger airbag status
indicator. See Passenger Sensing
System 0 60.
When the vehicle is started, this light
flashes and a chime may come on to
remind passengers to fasten their
seat belt.
Then the light stays on solid until the
belt is buckled. This cycle continues
several times if the front passenger
remains or becomes unbuckled while
the vehicle is moving.
If the front passenger seat belt is
buckled, neither the chime nor the
light comes on.
The front passenger seat belt reminder
light and chime may come on if an
object is put on the seat such as a
briefcase, handbag, grocery bag,
laptop, or other electronic device. To
turn off the reminder light and/or
chime, remove the object from the
seat or buckle the seat belt.

Airbag Readiness Light

This light shows if there is an
electrical problem with the airbag
system. The system check includes
the airbag sensor(s), the passenger
sensing system, the pretensioners, the
airbag modules, the wiring, and the
crash sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the airbag
system, see Airbag System 0 54.
The airbag readiness light comes on
for several seconds when the vehicle is
started. If the light does not come on
then, have it fixed immediately.

Warning

on after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, it means

crash. To help avoid injury, have
the vehicle serviced right away.
If there is a problem with the airbag

(DIC) message may also come on.
