GMC 2002 Yukon Denali Owner's Manual page 50

CAUTION:
Both frontal and side impact air bags inflate with
great force, faster than the blink of an eye. If
you're too close to an inflating air bag, as you
would be if you were leaning forward, it could
seriously injure you. Safety belts help keep you in
position for air bag inflation before and during a
crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with
frontal air bags. The driver should sit as far back
as possible while still maintaining control of the
vehicle. Front occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door.
CAUTION:
Anyone who is up against, or very close to, any air
bag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed.
-
Air bags plus lap shoulder belts offer the best
protection for adults, but not for young children and
infants. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system nor
its air bag system is designed for them. Young
children and infants need the protection that a child
restraint system can provide. Always secure children
properly in your vehicle. To read how, see the part
of this manual called "Children."
The system checks the air bag electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See "Air Bag Readiness Light" in the Index
for more information.
There is an air bag
readiness light on the
instrument panel,
which shows the air
bag symbol.
