Where Are The Airbags - Chevrolet 2013 VOLT Owner's Manual

Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by
your dealer. Furthermore, it might be
necessary to have the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, parts of
the panelling, the door seals,
handles and seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system as this will
invalidate the vehicle type approval.
When the airbags inflate, escaping
hot gases may cause burns.
There is an airbag readiness light
on the instrument cluster, which
shows the airbag symbol. The
system checks the airbag electrical
system for malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See Airbag Readiness
Light on page 5 13 for more
information.

Where Are the Airbags?

Frontal Airbag System
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and head of
the front seat occupants
considerably.
WARNING
Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position. Keep the area in
which the airbag inflates clear of
obstructions. Fit the safety belt
correctly and engage it securely.
Only then is the airbag able to
protect.
Seats and Restraints
The driver frontal airbag is in the
middle of the steering wheel.
The front passenger frontal airbag is
in the instrument panel on the
passenger side.
