Chevrolet Aveo Owner Manual - 2011

3-32 Seats and Restraints

The passenger sensing system will

turn off the right front passenger

frontal airbag and seat-mounted

side impact airbag (if equipped)

under certain conditions. The driver

airbags are not affected by the

passenger sensing system.

The passenger sensing system

works with sensors that are part of

the right front passenger seat. The

sensors are designed to detect the

presence of a properly-seated

occupant and determine if the right

front passenger frontal airbag and

seat-mounted side impact airbag

(if equipped) should be enabled

(may inflate) or not.

According to accident statistics,

children are safer when properly

secured in a rear seat in the correct

child restraint for their weight

and size.

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 the 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.

{

WARNING

A child in a rear-facing child

restraint can be seriously injured

or killed if the right front

passenger airbag inflates. This is

because the back of the

rear-facing child restraint would

be very close to the inflating

airbag. A child in a forward-facing

child restraint can be seriously

injured or killed if the right front

passenger airbag inflates and the

passenger seat is in a forward

position.

(Continued)

WARNING (Continued)

Even if the passenger sensing

system has turned off the right

front passenger frontal airbag and

seat-mounted side impact airbag

(if equipped), no system is

fail-safe. No one can guarantee

that an airbag will not deploy

under some unusual

circumstance, even though

the airbag(s) are off.

Secure rear-facing child restraints

in a rear seat, even if the

airbag(s) are off. If you secure a

forward-facing child restraint in

the right front seat, always move

the front passenger seat as far

back as it will go. It is better to

secure the child restraint in a

rear seat.
