Right Front Passenger Position; Air Bag System - Chevrolet 1998 C/K Full-Size Pickup Owner's 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 lap 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 may have a
"Next Generation"
reduced-force frontal air
bag for the driver and
another "Next Generation"
reduced-force frontal air
bag for the right front
passenger. If it does, it will
say AIR BAG on the middle
part of the steering wheel.
Reduced-force frontal air bags are designed to help
reduce the risk
of
injury from the force of
an
inflating
air bag. But even these air bags must inflate very
quickly if they are to do their job and comply with
federal regulations.
