Airbag System - Chevrolet 2006 SSR Pickup Owner's Manual

To remove the child restraint, if the top tether is attached
to the top tether anchor, disconnect it. Unbuckle the
vehicle's safety belt and let it go back all the way. The
safety belt will move freely again and be ready to
work for an adult or larger child passenger.
If you were using a rear-facing child restraint, turn on
the passenger's airbag when you remove the rear-facing
child restraint from the vehicle unless the person who
will be sitting there is a member of a passenger
airbag risk group. See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-48.
CAUTION:
{
If the passenger's frontal airbag is turned off
for a person who is not in a risk group
identified by the national government, that
person will not have the extra protection of a
frontal airbag. In a crash, the airbag would not
be able to inflate and help protect the person
sitting there. Do not turn off the passenger's
frontal airbag unless the person sitting there is
in a risk group. See Airbag Off Switch on
page 1-48 for more on this, including important
safety information.

Airbag System

Your vehicle has a frontal airbag for the driver, a frontal
airbag for the passenger, a side impact airbag for the
driver, and a side impact airbag for the passenger.
Frontal airbags are designed to help reduce the risk of
injury from the force of an inflating frontal airbag.
But these airbags must inflate very quickly to do their
job and comply with federal regulations.
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. Airbags are designed to work
with safety belts but do not replace them.
