.
Your Chevrolet has two air bags
--
one
air
bag for the
driver
and
another air bag
for
the right front passenger.
Here are the most important thin,gs
to know
about the air
bag
system:
To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.
The
belt should
go back out of the way.
,
Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out of the
way. If you slam the door on it, you can damage both the
belt and your vehicle.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
This part explains the Supplemental
Restraint System
(SRS) or
air
bag system.
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if
you aren't wearing your safety belt
--
even if you
have an air bag. Wearing your safety belt during
a
crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things
inside the vehicle
or
being ejected.from it. The
air
bag is only a ('supplemental restraint." That is, it
works with safety belts but doesn't replace them.
Air
bags are designed to work only in moderate to
severe crashes where the front of your vehicle hits
something. They aren't designed to inflate at all in
rollover, rear, side or low-speed frontal crashes.
Everyone in your vehicle, including the driver,
should wear
a
safety belt properly
--
whether or
not there's an
air
bag for that person.
