Pontiac 2005 Vibe - Manual (Page 140)

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
Your vehicle has a passenger airbag status indicator in
the instrument panel.
When the ignition key is turned to ON, the passenger
airbag status indicator will light ON and OFF as a
system check. Then, after several more seconds, the
status indicator will light either ON or OFF to let
you know the status of the right front passenger’s frontal
and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped.)
If the word ON is lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the right front passenger’s frontal
and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped)
are enabled (may inflate).
{ CAUTION:
If the on indicator comes on when you have a
rear-facing child restraint installed in the right
front passenger’s seat, it means that the
passenger sensing system has not turned off
the passenger’s frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped).
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s airbag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating airbag.
Do not use a rear-facing child restraint in the
right front passenger’s seat.
If the word OFF is lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the passenger sensing system
has turned off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag
and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped). See
Passenger Sensing System on page 1-56 for information
about the conditions that may affect the airbag system
and also important safety information.
