Seats and Restraints

properly in the seat. Use the
following steps to allow the system
to detect that person and enable the
front outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag:

1. Turn the vehicle off.

2. Remove any additional material

from the seat, such as
blankets, cushions, seat
covers, seat heaters, or seat
massagers. Also, remove
laptops, or other electronic
devices.

3. Place the seatback in the fully

upright position.

4. Have the person sit upright in

the seat, centered on the seat
cushion, with legs comfortably
extended.

5. Restart the vehicle and have

the person remain in this
position for two to
three minutes after the on
indicator is lit.

Warning

If the front outboard passenger
airbag is turned off for an
adult-sized occupant, the airbag
will not be able to inflate and help
protect that person in a crash,
resulting in an increased risk of
serious injury or even death. An
adult-sized occupant should not
ride in the front outboard
passenger seat, if the passenger
airbag off indicator is lit.

Additional Factors Affecting
System Operation

Seat belts help keep the passenger
in position on the seat during
vehicle maneuvers and braking,
which helps the passenger sensing
system maintain the passenger
airbag status. See

Seat Belts

and

Child Restraints

in the Index for

additional information about the
importance of proper restraint use.

A thick layer of additional material,
such as a blanket or cushion,
or aftermarket equipment such as
seat covers, seat heaters, and seat
massagers can affect how well the
passenger sensing system
operates. We recommend that you
not use seat covers or other
aftermarket equipment except when
approved by GM for your specific
vehicle. See

the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle

for more information about
modifications that can affect how
the system operates.

A wet seat can affect the
performance of the passenger
sensing system. Here is how:

.

The passenger sensing system
may turn off the passenger
airbag(s) when liquid is soaked
into the seat. If this happens, the
off indicator will be lit, and the
airbag readiness light on the
instrument panel will also be lit.

.

Liquid pooled on the seat that
has not soaked in may make it
more likely that the passenger
sensing system will turn on the
