Pontiac 2003 Bonneville Owner's Manual page 58

If your vehicle has one, the right front passenger's side
impact air bag is in the side of the passenger's
seatback closest to the door.
r
If something is between an occupant and an
air bag, the bag might not inflate properly or it
might force the object into that person causing
severe injury or even death. The path of an
inflating air bag must be kept clear. Don't put
anything between an occupant and an air bag,
and don't attach or put anything on the
steering wheel hub or on or near any other air
bag covering. Don't let seat covers block the
inflation path of a side impact air bag.
When Should an Air Bag Inflate?
The driver's and right front passenger's frontal air bags
are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal
cr ~ear-frsnta! crashes. En?
?hey are
designed
to
inflate
only if the impact speed is above the system's
designed "threshold level".
In addition, your vehicle has "dual stage" frontal air
bags, which adjust the amount of restraint according to
CEEKsewrty. For rnodemtefrourtatimpacts-tt-tese
~
air bags inflate at a level less than full deployment. For
more severe frontal impacts, full deployment occurs.
