Chevrolet 2008 Silverado 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual page 220

When you manually turn the right front passenger's
airbag off using the airbag on-off switch in the glove box,
the indicator light OFF or the off symbol will come on
and stay on to remind you that the airbag has been
turned off. This light will go off when you turn the airbag
on. See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-78 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
identified by the national government.
See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-78 for more on
this, including important safety information.

CAUTION:
{
If the airbag readiness light ever comes on
when you have turned off the airbag, it means
that something may be wrong with the airbag
system. The right front passenger's airbag
could inflate even though the switch is off.
If this ever happens, do not let anyone whom
the national government has identified as a
member of a passenger airbag risk group
sit in the right front passenger's position
(for example, do not secure a rear-facing child
restraint in the right front passenger's seat)
until you have your vehicle serviced. See Airbag
Off Switch on page 1-78 and Airbag Readiness
Light on page 3-40 for more on this, including
important safety information.
If the word ON or the on symbol is lit, it means that
the right front passenger's frontal airbag is enabled
(may inflate). See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-78 for
more on this, including important safety information.
If, after several seconds, both status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be
a problem with the lights or the airbag on-off switch.
See your dealer/retailer for service.
