Warning (Continued)
The lap belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces
would be there, not at your pelvic
bones. This could cause serious
internal injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear the
seat belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if
the vehicle is moving.
Front Seat Armrest
There is an armrest on the inboard
side of the driver seat. To raise or
lower the armrest, push up or pull
down on the armrest.
Folding Seatback
The front passenger seatback may
fold flat.
{Warning
If you fold the seatback forward to
carry longer objects, such as skis,
be sure any such cargo is not
near an airbag. In a crash, an
inflating airbag might force that
object toward a person. This
could cause severe injury or even
death. Secure objects away from
the area in which an airbag would
inflate. For more information, see
Where Are the Airbags?051 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0140.
{Warning
Things you put on this seatback
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
Remove or secure all items
before driving.

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

to detect that person and enable the
front outboard passenger frontal
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 two to
three minutes after the off
indicator is not lit.
{Warning
If the front outboard passenger
airbag is turned off for an
adult-sized occupant, the airbag

Warning (Continued)
will not be able to inflate and help
protect that person in a crash,
resulting in an increased risk of
serious injury or even death. An
adult-sized occupant should not
ride in the front outboard
passenger seat, if the passenger
airbag off indicator is lit.
Additional Factors Affecting
System Operation
Seat 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“Seat 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 063
for more information about
modifications that can affect how
the system operates.
{Warning
Stowing articles under the
passenger seat or between the
passenger seat cushion and
seatback may interfere with the
proper operation of the passenger
sensing system.
{Warning
. Do not place any objects on
the steering wheel pad or on
the instrument panel. Also,
do not place any objects

78 Seats and Restraints
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
Securing a Booster Seat
{Warning
Do not use the child restraint
locking feature when using a
booster seat with the seat belts.
Follow these steps to install a
booster seat in the front
passenger seat: 1. If you must install a booster seat in the front seat, move the
seat to the rear-most position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a
front-facing direction. Always
follow the booster seat
manufacturer ’s instructions.
3. The booster seat should be positioned on the vehicle seat
so that it is stable. If necessary, adjust or remove
the head restraint to obtain the
correct booster seat fit. If the
head restraint is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be
sure to reinstall the head
restraint when the booster seat
is removed. For more
information, see
Head
Restraints 037 for head
restraint adjustment, removal,
and installation information.
If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head
restraint and it is interfering
with the proper booster seat fit,
try a different booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the
child’s hips. Be sure to follow
the booster seat
manufacturer ’s instructions for
adjusting the seat belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the
retractor to take up the extra
slack. Be sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the top,
middle portion of the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow the
booster seat manufacturer
’s
instructions for adjusting the
seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions, and instructions for properly
fastening a seat belt. See
Lap-Shoulder Belt 045.
7. If the booster seat is installed
in the front passenger seat,
place the ignition switch in the
ON position. The passenger
airbag status indicator may or
may not be lit, depending on
the size of the child and the
type of booster seat being
used. For more information,
see Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 090.
