Passenger Airbag Status Indicator - Chevrolet 2008 Avalanche 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 after you
start your vehicle, it means the airbag 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.
The airbag readiness light should flash for a
few seconds when you start the engine. If the light
does not come on then, have it fixed immediately.
If there is a problem with the airbag system, an airbag
Driver Information Center (DIC) message may also come
on. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-59 for

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

Your vehicle has the passenger sensing system.
Your overhead console has a passenger airbag status
indicator.
United States
When you start the vehicle, the passenger airbag status
indicator will light ON and OFF, or the symbol for on
and off, for several seconds as a 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).
