I A CAUTION:

Even with an air bag, if you’re not wearing a safety belt and
you’re in a crash, your injuries may be much worse. Air bags are
r-
not designed to inflate in rollovers or in rear, side or low-speed
hntal crashes. You need
to wear your safety belt to reduce the
chance
of hitting things inside the vehicle or being’ejected from
it. Always wear your safety belt, even with an air bag.
A CAUTION
Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye.
If you’re too close ta an inflating air bag, it could seriously
injure you. Safety belts help keep you in position for an air bag
inflation in
a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with an
air bag, and the driver should sit as far back as possible while
still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
A CAUTION:
An inflating ais bag can seriously injure small children. Always
secure children properly in your vehide. To read how, tee the
“Children and Safety Belts” section
of this manual, and read
I the caution label on the front-passenger’s safety belt.

Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these
instructions on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These
restraints use the belt system in your vehicle, but the child also has to be
secured within the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury.
The instructions that come with the infant or child restraint will show you
how
to do that.
Where to Put the Restraint
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in
the rear rather than the front seat. We at General Motors therefore
recommend that you put your child restraint in the rear seat.
NEVER put
a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat. Here’s why:

A CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured
if the right-front passenger’s air bag inflates. This is because I
the back of a rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Your vehicle has
a right-front passenger’s
air bag, always secure
a rear-facing child restraint in the rear
seat.
You may secure a forward-facing child restraint in the
right-front seat. However, before securing
a forward-facing child
restraint,
ALWAYS move the front passenger seat as far back as
it will go. Or, secure the child restraint in the rear seat. Lj’ ri
