{ CAUTION
If the airbag readiness light in
the instrument panel cluster
ever comes on and stays on, it
means that something may be
wrong with the airbag system.
If this ever happens, have the
vehicle serviced promptly,
because an adult-size person
sitting in the right front
passenger’s seat may not have
the protection of the airbag(s).
See Airbag Readiness Light on
page 4-13 for more on this,
including important safety
information.
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 other than
any that GM has approved for your
specific vehicle. See Adding
Equipment to Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 1-30 for more
information about modifications
that can affect how the system
operates.
The passenger sensing system may
suppress the airbag deployment
when liquid soaks into the seat.
If this happens, the off indicator in
the passenger airbag status
indicator and the airbag readiness
light on the instrument panel
will be lit. The system should
resume normal operation after the
seat is allowed to dry. If the
system operates incorrectly after
the seat has dried, have your
dealer/retailer check the system.
{ CAUTION
Stowing of articles under the
passenger seat or between the
passenger seat cushion and
seatback may interfere with the
proper operation of the
passenger sensing system.
