Pontiac Solstice 2008 Owner's Manual page 49

The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off
the right front passenger's frontal airbag if:
•
The right front passenger seat is unoccupied.
•
The system determines that an infant is present
in a rear-facing infant seat.
•
The system determines that a small child is present
in a child restraint.
•
The system determines that a small child is present
in a booster seat.
•
A right front passenger takes his/her weight off of
the seat for a period of time.
•
The right front passenger seat is occupied by a
smaller person, such as a child who has outgrown
child restraints.
•
Or, if there is a critical problem with the airbag
system or the passenger sensing system.
When the passenger sensing system has turned off the
right front passenger's frontal airbag, the off indicator
will light and stay lit to remind you that the airbag is off.
See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 3-25.
If a child restraint has been installed and the on
indicator is lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove the child
restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the child restraint
following the child restraint manufacturer's directions
and refer to Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front
Seat Position on page 1-32.
If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting
the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to make
sure that the vehicle's seatback is not pressing the
child restraint into the seat cushion. If this happens,
slightly recline the vehicle's seatback and adjust
the seat cushion if possible.
Remove any additional material from the seat such
as blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat heaters,
or seat massagers before reinstalling or securing
the child restraint.
If the on indicator is still lit, do not install a child restraint
in this vehicle and check with your dealer/retailer.
The passenger sensing system is designed to
enable (may inflate) the right front passenger's frontal
airbag 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 airbag to be enabled, the on indicator will
light and stay lit to remind you that the airbag is active.
