Right Front Passenger Position - Chevrolet MONTE CARLO 1998 Manual

The best way to protect the fetus is
to
protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it's more
likely that the fetus won't be hurt
in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger's
safety belt properly, see "Driver Position" earlier
in this section.
The right front passenger's safety belt works the same
way as the driver's safety belt
--
except for one thing. If
you
ever pull the shoulder portion of the belt out all the
way, you will engage the child restraint locking feature.
If this happens, just let the belt go back all the way and
start again.
Air Bag System
This part explains the air bag system.
Your vehicle has two air bags
--
one air bag for the
driver and another air bag for the right front passenger.
Here are the most important things to know about the 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 air bags. Wearing your safety belt during a
crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things
inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Air
bags are "supplemental restraints" to the safety
belts. All air bags
are
designed to work with
safety belts, but don'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 should wear
a
safety belt properly
--
whether or not there's an
air bag for that person.
