2018 CHEVROLET CITY EXPRESS warning light

Chevrolet City Express Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
11683523) - 2018 - CRC - 7/10/17
Seats and Restraints 57
The passenger sensing system
works with sensors that are part of
the front outboard passenger seat.
The sensors are designed to detect
the presence of a properly seated
occupant and determine if the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
should be allowed to inflate or not.
If the front outboard passenger seat
is unoccupied, the passenger airbag
status indicator will remain lit, and
the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag will be turned off.
{Warning
To ensure proper operation of the
passenger’s advanced airbag
system, observe the following
items:
. Do not place heavy loads
heavier than 1 kg (2.2 lb) on
the seatback, in the
underseat storage bin, head
restraint, or in the seatback
pocket.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Do not store luggage behind
the seat that can press into
the seatback.
. If a forward-facing child
restraint is installed in the
passenger seat, do not
position the passenger seat
so the child restraint
contacts the instrument
panel. If the child restraint
does contact the instrument
panel, the system may
determine the seat is
occupied and the passenger
airbag may deploy in a
collision. Also, the
passenger airbag status
indicator may not light. For
more information, see
Securing Child Restraints
075 for information about
installing and using child
restraints.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Confirm the operating
condition with the
passenger airbag status
indicator.
. If you notice that the
passenger airbag status
indicator light is not
operating as described in
this section, take your
vehicle to your dealer to
check the passenger
sensing system.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
secured in a rear seat in a correct
child restraint for their weight
and size.
Rear-facing child restraints should
not be transported in the vehicle,
even if the airbag is off.
Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front. This is because the risk to
the rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag inflates.

wear a seat belt properly—whether
or not there is an airbag for that
person.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on,
or flashes, it means that
something may be wrong with the
airbag system. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have
the vehicle serviced right away.
See Airbag Readiness Light 089
for more information, including
important safety information.
If the Off Indicator Is Not Lit for
a Child Restraint
If a child restraint has been installed
and the off indicator is not lit:
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Remove the child restraint from the vehicle. 3. Remove any additional items
from the seat such as blankets,
cushions, seat covers, seat
heaters, or seat massagers.
4. Reinstall the child restraint following the directions
provided by the child restraint
manufacturer and refer to
Securing Child Restraints 075.
5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the
vehicle, the off indicator is still
not 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
0 37.
6. Restart the vehicle. If the off indicator is still not lit, do
not install a child restraint in this
vehicle and check with your dealer.
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 off indicator is lit.
If the Off Indicator Is Lit for an
Adult-Sized 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

Replacing Airbag System
Parts after a Crash
{Warning
A crash can damage the airbag
systems in the vehicle.
A damaged airbag system may
not properly protect you and your
passenger(s) in a crash, resulting
in serious injury or even death. To
help make sure the airbag
systems are working properly
after a crash, have them
inspected and any necessary
replacements made as soon as
possible.
If an airbag inflates, you will need to
replace airbag system parts. See
your dealer for service.
If the airbag readiness light stays on
after the vehicle is started or comes
on when you are driving, the airbag
system may not work properly. Have
the vehicle serviced right away. See
Airbag Readiness Light 089.
Child Restraints
Older Children
Older children who have outgrown
booster seats should wear the
vehicle’s seat belts.
The manufacturer ’s instructions that
come with the booster seat state the
weight and height limitations for that
booster. Use a booster seat with a
lap-shoulder belt until the child
passes the fit test below: .
Sit all the way back on the seat.
Do the knees bend at the seat
edge? If yes, continue. If no,
return to the booster seat.
. Buckle the lap-shoulder belt.
Does the shoulder belt rest on
the shoulder? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.
. Does the lap belt fit low and
snug on the hips, touching the
thighs? If yes, continue. If no,
return to the booster seat.
. Can proper seat belt fit be
maintained for the length of the
trip? If yes, continue. If no,
return to the booster seat.
Q: What is the proper way to wear seat belts?
A: An older child should wear a
lap-shoulder belt and get the
additional restraint a shoulder
belt can provide. The shoulder
belt should not cross the face or
neck. The lap belt should fit
snugly below the hips, just
touching the top of the thighs.
This applies belt force to the
child's pelvic bones in a crash.

86 Instruments and Controls
Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to
indicate they are working. When
one of the warning lights comes on
and stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly and even
dangerous.

Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle
speed in kilometers per hour (km/h)
and miles per hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer shows how far
the vehicle has been driven since
the trip odometer was last reset. Press the trip odometer reset stem
on the cluster to switch between the
odometer, trip odometer A, and trip
odometer B.
To reset each trip odometer to zero,
press and hold the trip odometer
reset stem. Only the trip odometer
that is currently displayed will be
reset.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Caution
If the engine is operated with the
rpm’s in the warning area at the
high end of the tachometer, the
vehicle could be damaged, and
the damage would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
operate the engine with the rpm’s
in the warning area.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates about how
much fuel is left when the ignition is
turned to ON.
When the tank nears empty, the low
fuel warning light may come on.
There is still a little fuel left, but the
vehicle's fuel tank should be filled
soon. See
Low Fuel Warning Light
0 97.
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates the side of the vehicle on
which the fuel door is located.

Here are four things that some
owners ask about. None of these
show a problem with the fuel gauge:
.At the service station, the gas
pump shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
. It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
. The indicator moves a little when
turning a corner or speeding up.
. The gauge goes back to empty
when the ignition is turned off.
Seat Belt Reminders
The light and chime remind you to
fasten your seat belts. The light
illuminates when the ignition is
placed in ON or START and remains
illuminated until the driver ’s seat belt
is fastened. At the same time, the
chime sounds for about six seconds
unless the driver ’s seat belt is
securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light may also
illuminate if the front passenger ’s
seat belt is not fastened when the
front passenger seat is occupied.
For seven seconds after the ignition
switch is placed in ON, the system
does not activate the warning light
for the front passenger.
{Warning
If the seat belt warning light stays
on continuously while the ignition
is turned ON with all doors closed
and all seat belts fastened, it may
indicate a malfunction in the
system. Have the system
checked by your dealer.
See Seat Belts 043.
Airbag Readiness Light
This light shows if there is an
electrical problem with the airbag
system. The system check includes
the airbag sensor(s), passenger
sensing system, the pretensioners,
the airbag modules, the wiring, and
the crash sensing and diagnostic
module. For more information on the
airbag system, see Airbag System
0 49.
The airbag readiness light comes on
for several seconds when the
vehicle is started. If the light does
not come on then, have it fixed
immediately.
