Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye.
If you’re too close to 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 air bag can seriously injure small chiIdren. Always
secure children properly in your vehicle. Tu read how, see the
“Children
and Safety Belts’’ section of this manual, and read
the caution
label on the front-passenger% safety belt.
Air Bag System Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel. The system
checks itself
and the light tells you if there is a problem.

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.
?+%ere 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
the back of a rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the
inflating air bag. If your vehicle has a right-frunt
passenger’s air bag, always secure a rear-facing child restraint
in the rear seat,
You may secure a fonvard-facing child restraint in the right
front seat, However, before securing a forward-facing chitd
restraint, ALWAYS move the frornt passenger seat as far back
as it will go. Or, secure the child restraint in the rear seat.
CAUTION:
A child in B child restraint in the frontenter seat can be
badly injured by the passenger air bag if it inflates. NWEK
use a child restraint in the fmnt-center seat. It’s ahvays better
to secure a child restmint in the rcar seat, You may, howeiq
secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right-front
passenger seat unty with the seat moved all the way back

do not operate it until the cause
of low oil pressure is corrected. Severe
damage to the engine can result.

the coolant
surge
tank.
5. Start the engine and as the engine runs the coolant will circulate
through the cooling system. Any air that was introduced while adding
coolant
will purge itself and rise to the top of the surge tank. If the
“ENGINE COOLANT
LOW” message does not appear on the
Driver Information Center, coolant is at the proper
fill level. If an
“ENGINE
COOLANT LOW” message does appear, repeat steps 1
through 4 or see your dealer.
IFA TIRE GOES FLAT
It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving, especially if you
maintain your tires properly. If air goes out of a tire, it’s much more likely
to leak out slowly. But if you should ever have a “blowout,” here are a
few tips about what to expect and what
to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire will create a drag that pulls the vehicle
toward that side. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and grip the
steering
wheel firmly. Steer to maintain lane position, then gently brake
to a stop
well out of the traffic lane.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like a skid and may
require the same correction you’d use in a skid. In any rear blowout,
remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. Get the
vehicle under
control by steering the way you want the vehicle to
go. It may be very
bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer. Gently brake to a stop,
well off
the road if possible.
