Passenger Air Bag
Status
Indicator
-
Canada
The passenger sensing system will turn
off
the right
front passenger’s frontal air bag under certain
conditions. The driver’s air bag and the side air bags
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 air bag 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.
General Motors, therefore, recommends 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. Never put a child in a rear-facing child
restraint in the right front passenger seat unless
your vehicle has the passenger sensing system and the
passenger air bag status indicator shows
off.
Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front
passenger seat unless the air bag
is
off.
