If the Off Indicator Is Lit for an
Adult-Size Occupant

If a person of adult size is sitting in
the front outboard passenger seat,
but the off indicator is lit, it could
be because that person is not
sitting 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.

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
one minute after the on indicator
is lit.

Additional Factors Affecting
System Operation

Safety 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

Safety 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

Adding Equipment to

the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on

for more information

about modifications that can affect
how the system operates.
