Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light; Airbag Readiness Light - Buick 2006 LaCrosse Owner's Manual

Passenger Safety Belt
Reminder Light
Several seconds after the key is turned to RUN or
START, a chime will sound for several seconds
to remind the front passenger to buckle their safety
belt. This would only occur if the passenger airbag is
enabled. See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-61
for more information. The passenger safety belt light
will also come on and stay on for several seconds, then
it will flash for several more.
3-34
If the passenger's safety
belt is buckled, neither
the chime nor the light
will come on.

Airbag Readiness Light

There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows the airbag symbol. The system
checks the airbag's electrical system for malfunctions.
The system check includes the airbag modules, the
wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the airbag system, see
Airbag System on page 1-53.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after the vehicle
is started, or comes on as the vehicle is being
driven, there may be an electrical problem and the
airbag system may not work properly. Have the vehicle
serviced right away.
This light will come on
when the vehicle is
started, and it will flash
for a few seconds. Then
the light should go out.
This means the system
is functioning properly.
