Passenger Airbag Status; Indicator - Buick 2012 Regal Owner's Manual

{
WARNING
If the airbag readiness light stays
on after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, it means
the airbag system might not be
working properly. The airbags in
the vehicle might not inflate in a
crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid
injury, have the vehicle serviced
right away.

Passenger Airbag Status

Indicator

The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 3 28 for
important safety information.
The instrument panel has a
passenger airbag status indicator.
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF for several
seconds as a system check.
If you are using remote start,
if equipped, to start the vehicle from
a distance, you may not see the
system check. Then, after several
more seconds, the status indicator
will light either ON or OFF to let
you know the status of the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag.
If the word ON is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator,
it means that the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag is allowed
to inflate.
Instruments and Controls
If the word OFF is lit on the airbag
status indicator, it means that the
passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag.
If, after several seconds, both
status indicator lights remain on,
or if there are no lights at all, there
may be a problem with the lights or
the passenger sensing system.
See your dealer for service.
