Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How does an air bag restrain?
In moderate to severe frontal or
near-frontal collisions, even belted
occupants can contact the steering wheel
or the instrument panel. The air bag
supplements the protection provided by
safety belts. Air bags distribute the force
of the impact more evenly over the
occupant’s upper body, stopping the
occupant more gradually. But air bags
would not provide protection in many
types
of collisions, including rollovers
and rear and side impacts, primarily
because an occupant’s motion is not
toward the air bag. Air bags should never
be regarded as anything more than a
supplement to safety belt protection in
moderate to severe frontal and
near-frontal collisions.
What will you see after an air bag
inflation?
After the air bag has inflated, it will then
quickly deflate. This occurs
so quickly
that some people may
not even realize
that the air bag inflated. Some
components of the air bag module
in the
steering wheel hub for the driver’s air bag
or the instrument panel for the
passenger’s bag may be hot for a short
time, but the portion of the bag that comes
into contact .with you will not be hot to
the touch. There will be small amounts of
smoke coming from vents in the deflated
air bags. The air bag will
rn impede the
driver’s vision or ability to steer the
vehicle, nor will
it hinder the occupants
from exiting the vehicle.
In many crashes severe enough to inflate
an air bag, windshields are broken by
vehicle deformation. Additional
windshield breakage may occur
in
vehicles with passenger air bags because
the windshield acts as a reaction surface
for the inflating air bag.
0 The air bags are designed to inflate only
once. After they inflate 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 air bag
modules and possibly other parts. The
service manual has information about the
need to replace other pans.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
diagnostic module. which records
information about the air bag system if
the air bag deploys
in a crash. The
module records information about the
readiness of the system, which sensors
activated the deployment, and whether
thr
driver’s safety belt was in use.
Let only qualified technicians work on
your air bag system. Improper service car
mean that your air bag system won’t work
properly. See your dealer for service.
If you damage the cover for the driv-
er’s
or the right-front passenger’s air
bag, they may not work properly.
You may have
tu replace the air bag
on the steering wheel or both the air
bag and the instrument panel for the
passenger’s air bag.
Do not open or
break the air bag covers.

vlain Light Control
’he main light control is a knob that
vorks these lights:
b Headlights
b Taillights
Parking lights
b License lights
1 Sidemarker lights
b Instrument panel lights
rurn the knob to -w- to turn on your
leadlights and ot&?operating lights.
rurn the knob to
pg to turn on your
larking lights without your headlights.
rurn the knob to
“OFF’ to turn off the
ights.
Brightness Control
This switch controls the brightness of
your instrument panel lights. Turn the
switch to brighten or dim the lights. If yo1
turn the switch all the way up to
0w,
your courtesy lights will come on.
Lights On Reminder
If you turn the ignition “Off” and leave
the lights on, you will hear a chime when
you open the driver’s door.
Daytime Running Lights (Canada)
The Canadian Federal Government has
decided that “Daytime Running Lights”
(DRL) are
a useful feature, in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours.
DRL are required on new
vehicles sold in Canada.
Your DRL work with a light sensor on top
of the instrument panel. Don’t cover it up.
The front turn signal lights will come
on
in daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released.
At dusk, the exterior lights will come
on
automatically and the front turn signal
lights will go out. At dawn, the exterior
lights will go out and the front
turn signal
lights will come on (if the headlight
switch is off).
Of course,
you may still turn on the
headlights any time you need
to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set
the parking brake while the ignition is in
the
“Off” or “LOCK’ position. Then start
the vehicle. The DRL will stay
off until
you release the parking brake.

All Engines
What about gasoline with blending
materials that contain oxygen
(oxygenates), such as MTBE or alcohol?
MTBE is “methyl tertiary-butyl ether.”
Fuel that is no more than
15% MTBE is
fine for your vehicle.
Ethanol is ethyl or grain alcohol.
Properly-blended fuel that is no more
than
10% ethanol is fine for your vehicle
Methanol is methyl or wood alcohol.
NOTICE:
Fuel that is more than 5% methanol
is bad for your vehicle. Don’t use it.
It can corrode metal parts in your fuel
system and also damage plastic and
rubber parts. That damage wouldn’t
be covered under your warranty. And
even at
5% or less, there must be
“cosolvents” and corrosion prevent-
ers in this fuel to help avoid these
problems.
Gasolines for Cleaner Air
Your use of gasoline with deposit control
additives will help prevent deposits from
forming in your engine and fuel system.
That helps keep your engine in tune and
your emission control system working
properly. It’s good for your vehicle, and
you’ll be doing your part for cleaner air.
Many gasolines are now blended with
oxygenates. General Motors recommends
that you use gasolines with these blending
materials, such as MTBE and ethanol. By
doing
so, you can help clean the air,
especially in those parts of the country
that have high carbon monoxide levels.
In addition, some gasoline suppliers are
now producing reformulated gasolines.
These gasolines are specially designed to
reduce vehicle emissions. General Motors
recommends that you use reformulated
zasoline. By doing
so, you can help clean
:he air, especially in those parts of the
:ountry that have high ozone levels.
You should ask your service station
lperators if their gasolines contain deposit
:ontrol additives and oxygenates, and
if
:hey have been reformulated to reduce
iehicle emissions.
Fuels in Foreign Countries
If you plan on driving in another country
outside the
U.S. or Canada, unleaded fuel
may be hard to find.
Do not use leaded
gasoline. If
you use even one tankful,
your emission controls won’t work well
or at all. With continuous use, spark plugs
can get fouled, the exhaust system can
corrode, and your engine oil can
deteriorate quickly. Your vehicle’s oxygen
sensor will be damaged. All
of that means
costly repairs that wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
To check on fuel availability, ask an auto
club, or contact a major oil company that
does business in the country where you’ll
be driving.
You can also write
us at the following
address for advice. Just tell
us where
you’re going and give your Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN).
