Chevrolet 2004 Monte Carlo Owner's Manual page 56

CAUTION:
{
Anyone who is up against, or very close to, any
air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. Air bags plus lap-shoulder belts offer
the best protection for adults, but not for young
children and infants. Neither the vehicle's safety
belt system nor its air bag system is designed
for them. Young children and infants need the
protection that a child restraint system can
provide. Always secure children properly in
your vehicle. To read how, see the part of this
manual called "Older Children" or "Infants and
Young Children."

The system checks the air bag electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See Air Bag Readiness Light on page 3-33
for more information.
There is an air bag
readiness light on the
instrument panel, which
shows the air bag symbol.
