Passenger Airbag Status Indicator - Chevrolet 2006 HHR Owner's Manual

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

Your vehicle has the passenger sensing system.
Your instrument panel has a passenger airbag
status indicator.
Passenger
Airbag Status
Indicator – United
States
When the ignition key is turned to RUN or START, the
passenger airbag status indicator will light ON and
OFF, or the symbol for on and off, for several seconds
as a system check. If you use remote start to start
your vehicle from a distance (if equipped), you may not
see the system check. Then, after several more
seconds, the status indicator will light either ON or OFF,
or either the on or off symbol to let you know the
status of the right front passenger's frontal airbag.
Passenger
Airbag Status
Indicator – Canada
If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that the right front
passenger's frontal airbag is enabled (may inflate).
CAUTION:
{
If the on indicator comes on when you have a
rear-facing child restraint installed in the right
front passenger's seat, it means that the
passenger sensing system has not turned off
the passenger's frontal airbag. A child in a
rear-facing child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right front passenger's
airbag inflates. This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very close
to the inflating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front passenger's
seat if the airbag is turned on.
