Chevrolet 2007 Kodiak Owner's Manual page 69

CAUTION: (Continued)
in frontal crashes than more forceful
airbags have provided in the past.
Everyone in your vehicle should wear a
safety belt properly — whether or not
there is an airbag for that person.
CAUTION:
{
Airbags inflate with great force, faster
than the blink of an eye. If you are too
close to an inflating airbag, as you would
be if you were leaning forward, it could
seriously injure you. Safety belts help
keep you in position before and during
a crash. Always wear your safety belt,
even with airbags. The driver should
sit as far back as possible while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
If your vehicle has an airbag for the right front
passenger, please read this:
CAUTION:
{
Anyone who is up against, or very
close to, any airbag when it inflates can
be seriously injured or killed. Airbags
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 airbag 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 Older Children
on page 42 and Infants and Young
Children on page 45.
