Right Front Passenger Position; Air Bag System - Oldsmobile Bravada 2001 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 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:
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
or not there's an air bag for that person.
