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

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.
CAUTION:
{
If the airbag readiness light stays on or
keeps flashing after you start your
vehicle, it means the airbag system and
safety belt pretension system may not be
working properly. The airbags in your
vehicle may not inflate in a crash, or they
could even inflate without a crash. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others, have
your vehicle serviced right away if the
airbag readiness light stays on after you
start your vehicle.

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

Your vehicle has a passenger airbag status
indicator in the instrument panel.
See Safety Belt Reminder Light on page 161 for
more information on that indicator.
When the ignition key is turned to ON, the
passenger airbag status indicator will light ON and
OFF as a system check.
Then, after several more seconds, the status
indicator will light either ON or OFF if there is weight
on the seat or if the safety belt is buckled, to let you
know the status of the right front passenger's frontal
and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped).
The indicator next to the
passenger airbag status
indicator lights is the
passenger safety
belt reminder light.
