Supplemental Restraint System (Air Bag) - Buick 1994 Century Owner's Manual

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
This section explains the driver's Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS), commonly referred to as an alr
bag. Here are the most important things to know:
A
CAUTION:
Even with an air bag, if you're not wearing a
safety belt and you're in a crash, your injuries
may be much worse. Air bags are not designed
to inflate in rotlovers or in
rear, side or low-speed
frontal crashes.
You need to
wear your safety
belt to reduce the chance of hitting
things inside
the vehicle or being ejected from it. Always wear
your safety belt, even with an air bag.
A
CAUTION:
Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the
blink of an eye. If you're too close to an inflating
air bag, it could seriously injure
you.
Safety belts
help keep you
in position
for an air bag infiation
in a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even
with an air bag, and sit as far back as you can
while still maintaining control of your vehicle.
A
CAUTION:
When an air bag inflates, there
is dust in
the air.
This dust could cause breathing problems for
people with a history of asthma or other
breathing trouble. To avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as
soon
as it
is
safe to
do
so. If you have breathing problems but can't get
out of the vehicle after an air bag inflates, then
get fresh air by opening a window o r door.
