Right Front Passenger Position; Air Bag System - GMC 1999 Jimmy 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
If you ever pull the shoulder 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 has "Next Generation" frontal
--
air bags one air bag for the driver and another
air bag for the right front passenger.

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 even Next Generation 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 speed frontal crashes. And, for
unrestrained occupants, Next Generation 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.
