Passenger Sensing System - Chevrolet Suburban 2007 Owner's Manual

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 240.
United States
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 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 a
rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward-facing child seat, and an older child riding
in a booster seat.
