There is no top tether anchor in the right front
passenger’s position. Do not secure a child seat in
this position if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored, or if the
instructions that come with the child restraint say
that the top tether must be anchored. See
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 60if the child restraint has a top
tether.
You will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure
the child restraint in this position. Be sure to follow
the instructions that came with the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint when and as
the instructions say.
1. Your vehicle has a right front passenger’s
frontal airbag. SeePassenger Sensing
System on page 87. General Motors
recommends that rear-facing child restraints
be secured in a rear seat, even if the airbag is
off. If your child restraint is forward-facing,
move the seat as far back as it will go before
securing the child restraint in this seat.
SeeManual Seats on page 9orPower Seat
on page 10.When the passenger sensing system has
turned off the right front passenger’s frontal
airbag, the off indicator in the passenger airbag
status indicator should light and stay lit
when you turn the ignition to ON or START.
SeePassenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 197.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. If your vehicle has retractable hardtop or is a
coupe, remove the safety belt from the guide
on the head restraint by sliding the webbing
through the opening on the guide. Do not
secure the child restraint with the safety belt
routed through the guide.
4. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and
shoulder portions of the vehicle’s safety belt
through or around the restraint. The child
restraint instructions will show you how.

In many crashes severe enough to inate the
airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle
deformation. Additional windshield breakage may
also occur from the right front passenger
airbag.
Airbags are designed to inate only once.
After an airbag inates, you will need
some new parts for the airbag system. If you
do not get them, the airbag system will
not be there to help protect you in another
crash. A new system will include airbag
modules and possibly other parts. The service
manual for your vehicle covers the need to
replace other parts.
Your vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information
after a crash. SeeVehicle Data Collection and
Event Data Recorders on page 461.
Let only qualied technicians work on the
airbag system. Improper service can mean that
the airbag system will not work properly.
See your dealer for service.
Passenger Sensing System
Your vehicle has a passenger sensing system.
The passenger airbag status indicator on the
instrument panel will be visible when you turn your
ignition key to ON or START. The words ON
and OFF or the symbol for on and off, will
be visible during the system check. If you use
remote start to start your vehicle from a distance,
if equipped, you may not see the system check.
When the system check is complete, either
the word ON or the word OFF, or the symbol for
on or the symbol for off will be visible. See
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 197.
The passenger sensing system will turn off the
right front passenger’s frontal airbag under certain
conditions. The driver’s airbags are not part of
the passenger sensing system.

Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle
Airbags affect how your vehicle should be
serviced. There are parts of the airbag system in
several places around your vehicle. You do
not want the system to inate while someone is
working on your vehicle. Your dealer and the
service manual have information about servicing
your vehicle and the airbag system. To purchase a
service manual, seeService Publications
Ordering Information on page 468.
{CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key
is turned off and the battery is
disconnected, an airbag can still inate
during improper service. You can be
injured if you are close to an airbag when
it inates. Avoid yellow connectors. They
are probably part of the airbag system. Be
sure to follow proper service procedures,
and make sure the person performing
work for you is qualied to do so.
The airbag system does not need regular
maintenance.
