Passenger Airbag Status Indicator - Chevrolet Malibu 2007 Malibu Owner's Manual

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

Your vehicle has the passenger sensing system.
Your instrument panel has a passenger airbag
status indicator.
United States
When the ignition key is turned to ON 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. If you use remote start
to start your vehicle, if you have this feature, you
may not see the 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).
Canada
Your vehicle has a rear seat that will accommodate
a rear-facing child restraint.
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.
