Chevrolet Silverado: Passenger Sensing System / If the On Indicator Is Lit for a Child Restraint
The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag if the system determines that an infant is present in a child restraint.
If a child restraint has been installed and the ON indicator is lit:
- Turn the vehicle off.
- Remove the child restraint from the vehicle.
- Remove any additional items from the seat such as blankets, cushions, seat
covers, seat heaters, or seat massagers.
- Reinstall the child restraint following the directions provided by tahe
child restraint manufacturer and refer to Securing Child Restraints (In the
Center Front Seat) or Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt in the Rear
Seat) or Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt in the Front Passenger
Seat).
Make sure the seat belt retractor is locked by pulling the shoulder
belt all the way out of the retractor when installing the child restraint, even
if the child restraint is equipped with a seat belt lock off. When the retractor
lock is set, the belt can be tightened but not pulled out of the retractor.
- If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the vehicle, the
ON indicator is still lit, turn the vehicle off. Then slightly recline the vehicle
seatback and adjust the seat cushion, if adjustable, to make sure that the vehicle
seatback is not pushing the child restraint into the seat cushion. Also make
sure the child restraint is not trapped under the vehicle head restraint. If
this happens, adjust the head restraint. See Head Restraints.
- Restart the vehicle.
The passenger sensing system may or may not turn off the airbag for a child in
a child restraint depending upon the child’s size. It is better to secure child
restraints in the rear seat. Consider using another vehicle to transport the child
when a rear seat is not available. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat, even if the ON indicator is not lit.
The vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the front outboard passenger position.
The passenger airbag status indicator will light on the overhead console when the
vehicle is started...
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 or that the child restraint locking feature is engaged...
