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 on
page 3-42 . 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 on page 3-2 .
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. 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.

Seats and Restraints 3-29Warning (Continued)proper service procedures, and
make sure the person performing
work for you is qualified to do so.
Adding Equipment to the
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle Adding accessories that change the
vehicle's frame, bumper system,
height, front end, or side sheet
metal, may keep the airbag system
from working properly. The
operation of the airbag system can
also be affected by changing or
moving any parts of the front seats,
safety belts, the airbag sensing and
diagnostic module, steering wheel,
instrument panel, any of the airbag
modules, ceiling or pillar garnish
trim, front sensors, side impact
sensors, or airbag wiring. Your dealer and the service manual
have information about the location
of the airbag sensors, sensing and
diagnostic module, and airbag
wiring.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for the
front outboard passenger position,
which includes sensors that are part
of the passenger seat. The
passenger sensing system may not
operate properly if the original seat
trim is replaced with non-GM
covers, upholstery, or trim; or with
GM covers, upholstery, or trim
designed for a different vehicle. Any
object, such as an aftermarket seat
heater or a comfort-enhancing pad
or device, installed under or on top
of the seat fabric, could also
interfere with the operation of the
passenger sensing system. This
could either prevent proper
deployment of the passenger
airbag(s) or prevent the passenger
sensing system from properly turning off the passenger airbag(s).
See Passenger Sensing System on
page 3-22 .
If the vehicle has rollover roof-rail
airbags, see Different Size Tires
and Wheels on page 10-43 for
additional important information.
If you have to modify your vehicle
because you have a disability and
you have questions about whether
the modifications will affect the
vehicle's airbag system, or if you
have questions about whether the
airbag system will be affected if the
vehicle is modified for any other
reason, call Customer Assistance.
See Customer Assistance Offices
on page 13-3 .
Airbag System Check The airbag system does not need
regularly scheduled maintenance or
replacement. Make sure the airbag
readiness light is working. See
Airbag Readiness Light on
page 5-9 .

Seats and Restraints 3-43Warning (Continued)See Passenger Sensing System
on page 3-22 for additional
information.
Rear-facing child restraints should
not be installed in the vehicle, even
if the airbag is off.
If a child restraint uses a top tether,
see Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on
page 3-38 for top tether anchor
locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored, or if
the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top strap
must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have
a top tether, and that the tether be
attached. Securing a Forward-Facing Child
Restraint
When using the lap-shoulder belt to
secure a forward-facing child
restraint in this position, follow the
instructions that came with the child
restraint and the following
instructions:
1. Move the seat as far back as it
will go before securing the
forward-facing child restraint.
When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag, the off indicator on the
passenger airbag status
indicator should light and stay lit
when you start the vehicle
unless the passenger seat is
unoccupied. See Passenger
Airbag Status Indicator on
page 5-10 .
2. Put the child restraint on
the seat. 3. Pick up the latch plate, and run
the lap and shoulder portions of
the vehicle ’ s safety belt through
or around the restraint. The child
restraint instructions will show
you how.
4. Push the latch plate into the
buckle until it clicks.
Position the release button on
the buckle so that the safety belt
could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary.

5-6 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. Warning lights come on when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Some warning lights come
on briefly when the engine is started
to indicate they are working.
Gauges can indicate when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Often gauges and warning
lights work together to indicate a
problem with the vehicle. 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.

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 or
the segments of the gauge may
blink. There is still a little fuel left,
but the vehicle's fuel tank should be
filled soon. See Low Fuel Warning
Light on page 5-18 .
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates the side of the vehicle on
which the fuel door is located.

7707496) - 2015 - CRC - 11/26/14
Instruments and Controls 5-9Here 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. Safety Belt Reminders
The light and chime remind you to
fasten your safety belts. The light
illuminates when the ignition is
placed in ON or START and remains
illuminated until the driver ’ s safety
belt is fastened. At the same time,
the chime sounds for about
six seconds unless the driver ’ s
safety belt is securely fastened.
The safety belt warning light may
also illuminate if the front
passenger ’ s safety 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. { WarningIf the safety belt warning light
stays on continuously while the
ignition is turned ON with all
doors closed and all safety belts
fastened, it may indicate a
malfunction in the system. Have
the system checked by your
dealer.
See Safety Belts on page 3-8 .
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
on page 3-15 .

5-10 Instruments and Controls
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.
{ WarningIf the airbag readiness light stays
on or comes on and flashes after
the vehicle is started or comes on
while driving, it means the airbag
system might not be working
properly. The airbags in the
vehicle might not inflate in a
crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid
injury, have the vehicle serviced
right away. Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
{ WarningThe front passenger airbag is
designed to automatically turn off
under some conditions. Read this
section carefully to learn how it
operates. Proper use of the seat,
safety belt, and child restraints is
necessary for most effective
protection. Failure to follow all
instructions in this manual
concerning the use of seats,
safety belts, and child restraints
can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident. The passenger airbag status
indicator is under the climate
controls.
