64 Seats and Restraints
Knee airbags are designed to
inflate in moderate to severe
frontal impacts. Knee airbags
are not designed to inflate
during vehicle rollovers, in rear
impacts, or in many side
impacts.
Seat-mounted side impact
airbags are designed to inflate
in moderate to severe side
crashes depending on the
location of the impact. These
airbags may also inflate in
some moderate to severe
frontal impacts. Seat-mounted
side impact airbags are not
designed to inflate in rollovers
or rear impacts.
A seat-mounted side impact
airbag is designed to inflate on
the side of the vehicle that is
struck.
Roof-rail airbags are designed
to inflate in moderate to
severe side crashes
depending on the location of
the impact. In addition, these
roof-rail airbags may inflate
during a rollover or in a severefrontal impact. Roof-rail
airbags are not designed to
inflate in rear impacts. Both
roof-rail airbags may inflate
when either side of the vehicle
is struck or if the sensing
system predicts that the
vehicle is about to roll over on
its side, or in a severe frontal
impact.
In any particular crash, no one
can say whether an airbag
should have inflated simply
because of the vehicle
damage or repair costs.
What Makes an
Airbag Inflate?
In a deployment event, the
sensing system sends an
electrical signal triggering a
release of gas from the
inflator. Gas from the inflator
fills the airbag causing the bag
to break out of the cover. The
inflator, the airbag, and related
hardware are all part of the
airbag module.
For airbag locations, see
Where Are the Airbags?
061.
How Does an Airbag
Restrain?
In moderate to severe frontal
or near frontal collisions, even
belted occupants can contact
the steering wheel or the
instrument panel. In moderate
to severe side collisions, even
belted occupants can contact
the inside of the vehicle.
Airbags supplement the
protection provided by seat
belts by distributing the force
of the impact more evenly
over the occupant's 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

2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Seats and Restraints 65
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. See
When Should an Airbag
Inflate?063.
Airbags should never be
regarded as anything more
than a supplement to seat
belts.
What Will You See
after an Airbag
Inflates?
After frontal, knee, and
seat-mounted side impact
airbags inflate, they quickly
deflate, so quickly that some
people may not even realize
the airbags 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?
061.
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 (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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 on the interior
lamps and hazard warning
flashers after the airbags
inflate. The feature may also
activate, without airbag
inflation, after an event that
exceeds a predetermined
threshold. After turning the
vehicle off and then on again,
the doors can be locked, the
interior lamps can be turned
off, and the hazard warning
flashers can be turned off
using the controls for those
features. If any of these

In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for
the front outboard passenger
position, which includes
sensors that are part of the
passenger seat. The
passenger sensing system
may not operate properly if
the original seat trim is
replaced with non-GM covers,
upholstery, or trim; or with GM
covers, upholstery, or trim
designed for a different
vehicle. Any object, such as an
aftermarket seat heater or a
comfort-enhancing pad or
device, installed under or on
top of the seat fabric, could
also interfere with the
operation of the passenger
sensing system. This could
either prevent proper
deployment of the passenger
airbag(s) or prevent the
passenger sensing system
from properly turning off the
passenger airbag(s). See
Passenger Sensing System
066. If the vehicle has rollover
roof-rail airbags, see Different
Size Tires and Wheels
0352
for additional important
information.
If the vehicle must be modified
because you have a disability
and have questions about
whether the modifications will
affect the vehicle's airbag
system, or if you have
questions about whether the
airbag system will be affected
if the vehicle is modified for
any other reason, call
Customer Assistance. See
Customer Assistance Offices
0 386.
Airbag System Check
The airbag system does not
need regularly scheduled
maintenance or replacement.
Make sure the airbag
readiness light is working. See
Airbag Readiness Light 0112.
Caution
If an airbag covering is
damaged, opened, or broken,
the airbag may not work
properly. Do not open or
break the airbag coverings.
If there are any opened or
broken airbag coverings,
have the airbag covering
and/or airbag module
replaced. For the location of
the airbags, see Where Are
the Airbags? 061. See your
dealer for service.

Driving and Operating 195
Allow the vehicle to warm up
for 20 minutes before driving.
Vehicle Charging/
Maintenance
Charging
Keep the vehicle plugged in,
even when fully charged, to
keep the battery temperature
ready for the next drive. This
is important when outside
temperatures are extremely
hot or cold.
If possible, use a level 2
(240 volt) high power charge
station for best results. This
allows the interior of the
vehicle and high voltage
battery to warm to optimal
temperature.
Maintenance
Always keep the tires properly
inflated and the vehicle
properly aligned.
The weight of excess cargo in
the vehicle affects efficiency
and range. Avoid carrying
more than is needed.Avoid unnecessary use of
electrical accessories. Power
used for functions other than
propelling the vehicle will
reduce the available range.
Using a rooftop carrier will
reduce efficiency due to
additional weight and drag.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many
forms and can take your focus
from the task of driving.
Exercise good judgment and
do not let other activities
divert your attention away
from the road. Many local
governments have enacted
laws regarding driver
distraction. Become familiar
with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving,
keep your eyes on the road,
keep your hands on the
steering wheel, and focus your
attention on driving.
.Do not use a mobile phone in
demanding driving situations.
Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary
phone calls.
.Watch the road. Do not read,
take notes, or look up
information on mobile
phones or other electronic
devices.
.Designate a front seat
passenger to handle
potential distractions.
.Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such
as programming favorite
radio stations and adjusting
climate control and seat
settings. Program all trip
information into any
navigation device prior to
driving.
.Wait until the vehicle is
parked to retrieve items that
have fallen to the floor.
.Stop or park the vehicle to
tend to children.
.Keep pets in an appropriate
carrier or restraint.
