Airbag System - Chevrolet Spark Owner's Manual

40 Seats, restraints
Seat belt use during pregnancy
9 Warning
The lap belt must be positioned as
low as possible across the pelvis
to prevent pressure on the
abdomen.
Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women.
Like all occupants, pregnant women
are more likely to be seriously injured
if they do not wear seat belts.
In addition, when a seat belt is worn
properly, it is more likely that the
unborn child will be safe in a crash.
To provide maximum protection, a
pregnant woman should wear a
three-point seat belt.
She should wear the lap portion of the
belt as low as possible throughout her
pregnancy.

Airbag system

The airbag system consists of a
number of individual systems.
When triggered the airbags inflate
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable
during the collision.
9 Warning
If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an
explosive manner.
The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. If you are
sitting too close to the airbag, it
can cause death or serious injury
when it inflates.
For maximum safety protection in
all types of crashes, all occupants
including the driver should always
wear their seat belts to minimise
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash. Do not sit or
