Airbag System - Chevrolet 2007 Avalanche Owner's Manual

Airbag System

Your vehicle has the following airbags:
•
A frontal airbag for the driver.
•
A frontal airbag for the right front passenger.
Your vehicle may have the following airbags:
•
A roof-mounted rollover airbag for the driver
and right front passenger.
•
A roof-mounted rollover airbag for the second
row outboard passenger positions.
If your vehicle has roof-mounted rollover airbags,
the word AIRBAG will appear on the airbag
covering on the headliner above the sidewall trim
near the driver's and right front passenger's
window and the rear passenger's outboard
seating positions.
Airbags are designed to supplement the protection
provided by safety belts. Even though today's
airbags are also designed to help reduce the risk
of injury from the force of an inflating bag, all
airbags must inflate very quickly to do their job.

Here are the most important things to know about
the airbag system:
CAUTION:
{
You can be severely injured or killed in a
crash if you are not wearing your safety
belt — even if you have airbags. Wearing
your safety belt during a crash helps
reduce your chance of hitting things inside
the vehicle or being ejected from it. Airbags
are "supplemental restraints" to the safety
belts. All airbags are designed to work
with safety belts, but do not replace them.
CAUTION:
{
Frontal airbags for the driver and right
front passenger are designed to deploy
in moderate to severe frontal and near
frontal crashes. They are not designed
