Cleaning the Convertible Top
The convertible top should be
cleaned often. High pressure car
washes may cause water to enter
the vehicle.
Hand wash the convertible top in
the shade. Use a mild soap,
lukewarm water, and a soft sponge. A chamois or cloth may leave lint on
the top, and a brush can chafe the
threads in the top fabric. Do not use
detergents, harsh cleaners,
solvents, or bleaching agents.
Wet the entire vehicle and wash the
top evenly to avoid spots or rings.
Let the soap remain on the fabric for
a few minutes. When the top is very
dirty, use a mild foam-type cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse, then let the top
dry in direct sunlight.
To protect the convertible top.
.After washing, the top must be
completely dry before lowering.
.Do not get any cleaner on the
painted finish; it could leave
streaks.
.Before going through an
automatic car wash, find out if
the equipment could damage the
convertible top.

Seats and Restraints 3-19
Convertible Models, Driver SideShown, Passenger Side Similar
On convertible models, the
seat-mounted side impact airbags
for the driver and right front
passenger are in the side of the
seatbacks closest to the door.Coupe Models, Driver Side Shown, Passenger Side Similar
On coupe models, the roof-rail
airbags for the driver, right front
passenger, and second row
outboard passengers are in the
ceiling above the side windows.
{WARNING
If something is between an
occupant and an airbag, the
airbag might not inflate properly
or it might force the object into
that person causing severe injury
or even death. The path of an
inflating airbag must be kept
clear. Do not put anything
between an occupant and an
airbag, and do not attach or put
anything on the steering wheel
hub or on or near any other
airbag covering.
Do not use seat accessories that
block the inflation path of a
seat-mounted side impact airbag.
Never secure anything to the roof
of a vehicle with roof-rail airbags
by routing a rope or tie‐down
through any door or window
opening. If you do, the path of an
inflating roof-rail airbag will be
blocked.

Black plate (22,1)Chevrolet Camaro Owner Manual (Include Mex) - 2012
3-22 Seats and Restraints
Seat-mounted side impact and
roof-rail airbags distribute the force
of the impact more evenly over the
occupant's upper body.
Rollover‐capable roof‐rail airbags
are designed to help contain the
head and chest of occupants in
the outboard seating positions in
the first and second rows. The
rollover‐capable roof‐rail airbags are
designed to help reduce the risk of
full or partial ejection in rollover
events, although no system can
prevent all such ejections.
But airbags would not help in many
types of collisions, primarily
because the occupant's motion is
not toward those airbags. SeeWhen
Should an Airbag Inflate? on
page 3‑20 for more information.
Airbags should never be regarded
as anything more than a supplement
to safety belts.What Will You See after
an Airbag Inflates?
After the frontal airbags and
seat-mounted side impact airbags
inflate, they quickly deflate, so
quickly that some people may not
even realize an airbag inflated.
Roof-rail airbags may still be at least
partially inflated for some time after
they inflate. Some components of
the airbag module may be hot for
several minutes. For location of the
airbags, see Where Are the
Airbags? on page 3‑18.
The parts of the airbag that come
into contact with you may be warm,
but not too hot to touch. There may
be some smoke and dust coming
from the vents in the deflated
airbags. Airbag inflation does not
prevent the driver from seeing out of
the windshield or being able to steer
the vehicle, nor does it prevent
people from leaving the vehicle.
{WARNING
When an airbag inflates, there
may be dust in the air. This dust
could cause breathing problems
for people with a history of
asthma or other breathing trouble.
To avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as soon as
it is safe to do so. If you have
breathing problems but cannot
get out of the vehicle after an
airbag inflates, then get fresh air
by opening a window or a door.
If you experience breathing
problems following an airbag
deployment, you should seek
medical attention.
The vehicle has a feature that may
automatically unlock the doors, turn
the interior lamps on, turn the
hazard warning flashers on, and
shut off the fuel system after the
airbags inflate. You can lock the
doors, turn the interior lamps off,
