Airbag Readiness Light - Pontiac 2006 Vibe Owner's Manual

When the key is turned to ON or START, this light will
come on as a reminder for the right front passenger
to fasten the safety belt. The safety belt light will flash
until the right front passenger's safety belt is buckled.
The passenger's safety belt reminder light will not
illuminate if the right front passenger's belt is already
buckled or if a sensor does not detect the weight
of a passenger in that seat.
If something is placed on the right front passenger's
seat, the sensors in the seat may detect that object and
cause the right front passenger's safety belt reminder
light to come on. If this ever happens, move the object
to the rear seat or place it in a rear storage area, if
at all possible.

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 diagnostic module.
For more information on the airbag system, see
Airbag System on page 1-49.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start the
vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your
airbag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
This light will come on for
about seven seconds
when you start your
vehicle. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.
