Passenger Sensing System - GMC 2007 Yukon XL Owner's Manual

In many crashes severe enough to inflate an airbag,
windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may also occur
from the right front passenger airbag.
•
Airbags are designed to inflate only once. After
an airbag inflates, you will need some new
parts for your airbag system. If you do not get
them, the airbag system will not be there to help
protect you in another crash. A new system will
include airbag modules and possibly other
parts. The service manual for your vehicle
covers the need to replace other parts.
•
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing
and diagnostic module which records
information after a crash. See Vehicle Data
Collection and Event Data Recorders on
page 583.
•
Let only qualified technicians work on your
airbag system. Improper service can mean that
your airbag system will not work properly. See
your dealer for service.

Passenger Sensing System

Your vehicle has a passenger sensing system.
The passenger airbag status indicator on the
overhead console will be visible when you turn
your ignition key to RUN or START. The words ON
and OFF or the symbol for on and off, will be
visible during the system check. When the system
check is complete, either the word ON or the
word OFF, or the symbol for on or the symbol for
off will be visible. See Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 228.
United States
The passenger sensing system will turn off the
right front passenger's frontal airbag under certain
