2008 Chevrolet Aveo Owner's Manual - Page 70

The passenger sensing system works with a sensor that is part of the right front passenger's seat. The sensor is designed to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant and determine if the right front passenger's frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped) should be enabled (may inflate) or not. United States - Hatchback Canada - Hatchback Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. We recommend that children be secured in a rear seat, including: an infant or a child riding in a rear-facing child restraint; a child riding in a forward-facing child seat; an older child riding in a booster seat; and children, who are large enough, using safety belts. A label on your sun visor says, "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 deploys. If you have a hatchback, the airbag off symbol will be visible in the Secondary Information Center (SIC) during the system check. See Secondary Information Center (SIC) (Hatchback Only) on page 3-43. When the system check is complete, the airbag off symbol will be visible under certain conditions. The passenger sensing system will turn off the right front passenger's frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped) under certain conditions. The driver's airbags are not part of the passenger sensing system. 1-66
