Chevrolet 1999 Monte Carlo Owner's Manual page 30

CAUTION:
Children who are up against, or very close to, any
air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. This is true even though your vehicle
has Next Generation frontal air bags. Air bags
-
plus lap shoulder belts offer the best protection
for adults, but not for young children and
infants. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system
nor its air bag system is designed for them.
Young children and infants need the protection
that a child restraint system can provide. Always
secure children properly in your vehicle. To read
how, see the part of this manual called
"Children" and see the caution labels on the
sunvisors and the right front passenger's
safety belt.

The system checks the air bag electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See "Air Bag Readiness Light" in the Index
for more information.
There is an air bag readiness
light on the instrument
panel, which shows
AIR BAG or the
air bag symbol.
