Buick Encore: Airbag System / If the On Indicator Is Lit for a Child Restraint

Buick Encore 2020-2023 Owner's Manual / Seats and Restraints / 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:

  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 (With the Seat Belt in the Rear Seat) or Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt in the Front Seat).
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
