2007 Pontiac Vibe Owner's Manual - Page 77

An object, person or child in the rear seat contacting or pressing the right front passenger's seatback, or objects stowed under the right front passenger's seat, may affect the proper functioning of the passenger sensing system. When you use a safety belt extender in the right front passenger's seat, make sure the passenger airbag status indicator shows the word ON. If the indicator shows OFF, disconnect the extender's latch from the buckle then reconnect the safety belt. Make sure the indicator light shows ON, then reconnect the safety belt extender. If you use the safety belt extender while the indicator light shows OFF, the right front passenger's frontal airbag, seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped), and the safety belt pretensioner may not activate correctly. See Airbag System on page 63 for important safety information about your airbags. The passenger sensing system is designed to enable (may inflate) the right front passenger's frontal airbag, seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped), and the safety belt pretensioner anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the right front passenger's seat. When the passenger sensing system has allowed the airbags and pretensioner to be enabled, the ON indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the airbags and pretensioner are active. For some children who have outgrown child restraints and for very small adults, the passenger sensing system may or may not turn off the airbags and pretensioner, depending upon the person's seating posture and body build. Everyone in your vehicle who has outgrown child restraints should wear a safety belt properly - whether or not there is an airbag for that person. 77
