Passenger Airbag Status; Indicator - GMC 2012 Sierra Owner's Manual

Passenger Airbag Status

Indicator

If the vehicle has one of the
indicators pictured in the following
illustrations, then the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for the
right front passenger position unless
there is an airbag off switch located
in the glove box. If there is an
airbag off switch, the vehicle does
not have a passenger system
system. See Airbag On-Off Switch
on page 3 29.
The passenger airbag status
indicator is on the overhead
console. See Passenger Sensing
System on page 3 32 for important
safety information.
In addition, if the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for the
right front passenger position, the
label on the vehicle's sun visor
refers to ADVANCED AIRBAGS .

for on and off, for several seconds
as a 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

If the word ON or the on symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the right
front passenger frontal airbag is
enabled (may inflate).
If the word OFF or the off symbol is
lit on the airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right front
passenger frontal airbag.
