Passenger Airbag Status Indicator - Pontiac 2007 G5 Owner's Manual

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

If your vehicle has the passenger sensing system,
then your instrument panel has a passenger airbag
status indicator. See Passenger Sensing System
on page 73.
United States
When the ignition key is turned to RUN or START,
the passenger airbag status indicator will light ON
and OFF, or the symbol for on and off, for several
seconds as a system check. Then, after several
more seconds, the status indicator will light either
ON or OFF, or either the on or off symbol to let you
know the status of the right front passenger's frontal
airbag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it means that
the right front passenger's frontal airbag is enabled
(may inflate).

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.
CAUTION:
{
If the on indicator comes on when you have
a rear-facing child restraint installed in the
right front passenger's seat, it means that
the passenger sensing system has not
turned off the passenger's frontal airbag.
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the right
front passenger's airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to the
inflating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front passenger's
seat if the airbag is turned on.
