Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light; Airbag Readiness Light - Chevrolet 2006 Monte Carlo Owner's Manual

Passenger Safety Belt Reminder
Light
Several seconds after the key is turned to RUN or
START, a chime will sound for several seconds
to remind the front passenger to buckle their safety belt.
This would only occur if the passenger airbag is
enabled. See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-60
for more information. The passenger safety belt light
will also come on and stay on for several seconds, then
it will flash for several more.
If the passenger's safety belt is buckled, neither the
chime nor the light will come on.
This chime and light will be
repeated if the passenger
remains unbuckled and
the vehicle is in motion.

Airbag Readiness Light

There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows the airbag symbol. The system
checks the airbag's electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an electrical problem.
The system check includes the airbag sensors, the
airbag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and
diagnostic module. For more information on the
airbag system, see Airbag System on page 1-52.
This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, and it will flash for
a few seconds. Then the
light should go out. This
means the system is ready.
