Pontiac Solstice 2008 Owner's Manual page 41

CAUTION:
{
Airbags are designed to deploy in moderate
to severe frontal and near frontal crashes.
They are not designed to inflate in rollover,
rear crashes, or in many side crashes. And,
for some unrestrained occupants, airbags
may provide less protection in frontal crashes
than more forceful airbags have provided in
the past. Everyone in your vehicle should
wear a safety belt properly — whether or not
there is an airbag for that person.
CAUTION:
{
Airbags inflate with great force, faster than
the blink of an eye. Anyone who is up against,
or very close to, any airbag when it inflates
can be seriously injured or killed. Do not sit
unnecessarily close to the airbag, as you
would be if you were sitting on the edge of
your seat or leaning forward. Safety belts
help keep you in position before and during
a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even
with airbags. The driver should sit as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
