Passenger Sensing System - Pontiac 2007 G6 Owner's Manual

In many crashes severe enough to inflate the
airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle
deformation. Additional windshield breakage may
also occur from the right front passenger
airbag.
•
Airbags are designed to inflate only once.
After an airbag inflates, you will need
some new parts for the airbag system. If you
do not get them, the airbag system will
not be there to help protect you in another
crash. A new system will include airbag
modules and possibly other parts. The service
manual for your vehicle covers the need to
replace other parts.
•
Your vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information
after a crash. See Vehicle Data Collection and
Event Data Recorders on page 461.
•
Let only qualified technicians work on the
airbag system. Improper service can mean that
the airbag system will not work properly.
See your dealer for service.

Passenger Sensing System

Your vehicle has a passenger sensing system.
The passenger airbag status indicator on the
instrument panel will be visible when you turn your
ignition key to ON or START. The words ON
and OFF or the symbol for on and off, will
be visible during the system check. If you use
remote start to start your vehicle from a distance,
if equipped, you may not see the system check.
When the system check is complete, either
the word ON or the word OFF, or the symbol for
on or the symbol for off will be visible. See
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 197.
United States
The passenger sensing system will turn off the
right front passenger's frontal airbag under certain
conditions. The driver's airbags are not part of
the passenger sensing system.
