Airbag System - Chevrolet 2006 Colorado Owner's Manual

8. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
9. If the airbag is off, the off indicator on the instrument
panel will be lit and stay lit when the key is turned
to ON or START.
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.
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. Also make sure the child restraint is
not trapped under the vehicle head restraint. If this
happens, adjust the head restraint.
If the on indicator is still lit, secure the child in the child
restraint in a rear seat position in the vehicle if one
is available and check with your dealer.
To remove the child restraint, if the top tether is
attached, disconnect it. Unbuckle the vehicle's safety
belt and let it go back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult
or larger child passenger. When the safety belt is not
in use, slide the latch plate up the safety belt webbing.
The latch plate should rest on the stitching on the
safety belt, near the upper anchor on the side wall.

Airbag System

Your vehicle has a frontal airbag for the driver and a
frontal airbag for the right front passenger. Your vehicle
may also have a roof-mounted side impact airbag for
the driver and the passenger directly behind the
driver and a roof-mounted side impact airbag for the
right front passenger and the person seated directly
behind that passenger.
If your vehicle has side impact airbags, the word
AIRBAG will appear on the airbag covering on the
ceiling near the driver's and right front passenger's
window.
Frontal airbags are designed to help reduce the risk of
injury from the force of an inflating airbag. But these
airbags must inflate very quickly to do their job
and comply with federal regulations.
