Air Bag System - Chevrolet 2001 Camaro Owner's Manual

Air Bag System

This part explains the air bag system.
Your vehicle has air bags
and another air bag for the right front passenger.
Frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of
injury from the force of an inflating air bag. But these
air bags must inflate very quickly to do their job and
comply with federal regulations.
Here are the most important things to know about the
air bag system:

one air bag for the driver
CAUTION:
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash
if you aren't wearing your safety belt
you have air bags. Wearing your safety belt
during a crash helps reduce your chance of
hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected
from it. Air bags are "supplemental restraints"
to the safety belts. All air bags are designed to
work with safety belts, but don't replace them.
Air bags are designed to work only in moderate
to severe crashes where the front of your vehicle
hits something. They aren't designed to inflate
at all in rollover, rear, side or low
crashes. And, for unrestrained occupants,
air bags may provide less protection in frontal
crashes than more forceful air bags have
provided in the past. Everyone in your vehicle
should wear a safety belt properly
not there's an air bag for that person.
