Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine is the smoke from an air bag inflation harmful?
The particles emitted during air bag inflation are not harmful to most
people. Some people with respiratory ailments may experience difficulty
breathing if they stay in the vehicle with the windows closed
after air bag
inflation.
So, if your air bag inflates, you and any passengers should exit the
vehicle if and when it is safe to do
so. If you or your passengers can’t get
out of the vehicle, try to get fresh air by opening a window, turning on the
fan, or opening a door.
Servicing Your Facial Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
The facial air bag affects how your vehicle should be serviced. 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. Your
GM dealer and the 1994 GM Service Manual have information about
servicing your vehicle and the air bag system. The air bag system does not
need regular maintenance.
Safety Be/t Use During Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they don’t wear
safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a lapshoulder belt, and the lap portion
should be worn as low
as possible throughout the pregnancy.

Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the veh\
icle's safety belts.
If
you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so the child can
wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a sh\
oulder belt can
provide.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the
rear seat. But they need to use the safety belts properly.
Children who aren't buckled up can be thrown out in a crash.
Children who aren't buckled up can strike other people who are.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an easy target
for joy riders or professional thieves
- so don’t do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear
a chime
reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take it with you.
Always do this. Your steering wheel
will be locked, and so will your
ignition and transmission. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out
of sight. Put them in a storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it’s best
to lock
it up and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your ignition
key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area out of sight.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
New Vehicle “Break-In ”
NOTICE:
Your modern vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run if you follow these
guidelines:
0 Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for the first
500 miles (804 km).
Don’t drive at any one speed - fast or slow - for the first
500 miles (804 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
0 Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or
so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and
earlier replacement. Follow this “breaking-in” guideline
every time you get new brake linings.

If your vehicle has all-wheel drive, your engine’s driving power is sent to
all four wheels for extra traction.
This is like
four-wheel drive, but
there is no separate
lever or switch to
engage or disengage
the front axle. It is
fully automatic, and
adjusts itself as
needed for road
conditions.
Windows

windows,
turn the
hand crank on each
door to raise or lower

windows.
