Buick Encore: Airbag System / If the On Indicator Is Lit for a Child Restraint
If a child restraint has been installed and
the ON indicator is lit:
- Turn the vehicle off.
- Remove the child restraint from the
vehicle.
- Remove any additional items from the
seat such as blankets, cushions, seat
covers, seat heaters, or seat massagers.
- Reinstall the child restraint following the
directions provided by the child restraint
manufacturer and refer to Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat Belt in the Rear
Seat) or
Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Front Seat).
- If, after reinstalling the child restraint
and restarting the vehicle, the ON
indicator is still 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.
- Restart the vehicle.
If the ON indicator is still lit, secure the child
in the child restraint in a rear seat position
in the vehicle, and check with your dealer.
The vehicle has a passenger sensing system
for the front outboard passenger position.
The passenger airbag status indicator will
light on the instrument panel when the
vehicle is started...
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...
Other information:
Warning
Driving with more than one compact
spare tire at a time could result in loss of
braking and handling. This could lead to a
crash and you or others could be injured.
Use only one compact spare tire at
a time.
If this vehicle has a compact spare tire, it
was fully inflated when new; however, it
can lose air over time...
Warning
A child could be seriously injured or killed
in a crash if the child restraint is not
properly attached to the vehicle using
either the LATCH anchors or the vehicle
seat belt. Follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint and the
instructions in this manual...
