Pontiac Vibe 2007 Owner's Manual page 77

An object, person or child in the rear seat
contacting or pressing the right front passenger's
seatback, or objects stowed under the right
front passenger's seat, may affect the proper
functioning of the passenger sensing system.
When you use a safety belt extender in the right
front passenger's seat, make sure the passenger
airbag status indicator shows the word ON. If
the indicator shows OFF, disconnect the
extender's latch from the buckle then reconnect
the safety belt. Make sure the indicator light shows
ON, then reconnect the safety belt extender. If
you use the safety belt extender while the indicator
light shows OFF, the right front passenger's
frontal airbag, seat-mounted side impact airbag
(if equipped), and the safety belt pretensioner may
not activate correctly. See Airbag System on
page 63 for important safety information about your
airbags.
The passenger sensing system is designed to
enable (may inflate) the right front passenger's
frontal airbag, seat-mounted side impact airbag
(if equipped), and the safety belt pretensioner
anytime the system senses that a person of
adult size is sitting properly in the right front
passenger's seat. When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the airbags and pretensioner
to be enabled, the ON indicator will light and
stay lit to remind you that the airbags and
pretensioner are active.
For some children who have outgrown child
restraints and for very small adults, the passenger
sensing system may or may not turn off the
airbags and pretensioner, depending upon the
person's seating posture and body build. Everyone
in your vehicle who has outgrown child restraints
should wear a safety belt properly — whether
or not there is an airbag for that person.
