Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it
goes.
When the bike hits the block, it stops. But the child
keeps
going!
For example, if the bike is going 10 mph (16 km/h), so
is the child.

A CAUTION:
a
*
Don’t attach anything to the steering whwl
pad. It might injure the driver if the air bag
inflates.
The
air bag is designed to inflate only once.
After it inflates, you’ll need some new parts
for your air bag system. If you don’t get
them, the air bag system won’t be there to
help protect you in another crash. A new
system will include the air bag module and
possibly other
parts. The service manual
has information
about the need ta replace
other
parts.
Let only qualified technicians work on your
air bag system. Improper service can mean
that your
air bag system won’t work
properly. See your dealer for service.
I- D
Servicing Your Buick with the Air Bag
System
Please tell or remind anyone who works on your Buick
that it has the air bag system. There are parts
of the air
bag system in several places around your vehicle. You don’t want the system
to inflate
while someone is
working
on your vehicle. The air bag system does not
need regular maintenance. Your Buick dealer and the
1993 Park Avenue Service Manual have information
about the air bag system, including repair or disposal.
A CAUTION:
For up to 2 minutes after the ignition key is
turned
off and the battery disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured
if you are close to an air bag when
it inflates. Be sure to follow the proper service
procedures.
When electrical work is done under the hood or inside
your vehicle,
the ignition should be in “Lock” if
possible.
Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape, or yellow
connectors. They are probably part
of the air bag
system.
But if the ignition has to be on for electrical work, or if
the steering column is to be disassembled, the air bag
system must be disconnected.

The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Positi,on,”
earlier in this part.
When the lap portion
of the belt is pulled out all the
way, it will lock. If it does, let it
go back all the way and
start again.
Be sure to use the correct buckle when buckling your
lap-shoulder belt. If you find that the latch plate will not
go fully into the buckle, see if you are using the buckle
for the center passenger position.
