Passenger Airbag Status Indicator - Chevrolet 2007 Colorado Owner's Manual

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

Your vehicle has the passenger sensing system.
Your instrument panel has a passenger airbag
status indicator.
United States
When the ignition key is turned to ON 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. 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.
186
There is a label on your sun visor that says,
"Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front."
This is because the risk to the rear-facing child
is so great if the airbag deploys.
Canada
CAUTION:
{
Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the right
front passenger's frontal airbag if the
system detects a rear-facing child restraint,
no system is fail-safe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off. We recommend that
rear-facing child restraints be secured in
the rear seat, even if the airbag is off.
