Chevrolet 05MONTECARLO Automobile User Manual


 
Here are the most important things to know about the
airbag system:
{CAUTION:
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash
if you are not wearing your safety belt, even if
you have airbags. Wearing your safety belt
during a crash helps reduce your chance of
hitting things inside the vehicle or being
ejected from it. Airbags are designed to work
with safety belts but do not replace them.
Frontal airbags for the driver and right front
passenger are designed to deploy only in
moderate to severe frontal and near frontal
crashes. They are not designed to inflate in
rollover, rear or low-speed frontal crashes, or in
many side crashes. And, for some unrestrained
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
occupants, frontal airbags may provide less
protection in frontal crashes than more
forceful airbags have provided in the past.
The side impact airbag for the driver is
designed to inflate only in moderate to severe
crashes where something hits the driver’s side
of your vehicle. It is not designed to inflate in
frontal, in rollover or in rear crashes.
Everyone in your vehicle should wear a safety
belt properly, whether or not there is an airbag
for that person.
