Passenger Sensing System - Chevrolet 2007 HH7 Owner's Manual

Passenger Sensing System

Your vehicle has a passenger sensing system for
the right front passenger's position. A passenger
airbag status indicator on the instrument panel will
be visible when you turn your ignition key to
START or RUN.
United States
The words ON and OFF or the symbol for on and
off, will be visible during the system check. If
you are using remote start to start your vehicle
from a distance, you may not see 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.

The passenger sensing system will turn off the
right front passenger's frontal airbag under certain
conditions. The driver's airbags are not part of
the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with
sensors that are part of the right front passenger's
seat and safety belt. The sensors are designed
to detect the presence of a properly-seated
occupant and determine if the passenger's frontal
airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or not.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if
they are restrained in the rear rather than the front
seat. We recommend that child restraints be
secured in a rear seat, including an infant riding in
Canada
a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward-facing child seat and an older child riding
in a booster seat.
