Seats and Restraints 31
It is important to stress that the velocity of
t
he vehicle and the deceleration imposed to
the occupants are determinant factors for the
deployment of the airbag.
An electronic module manages the activation
of the system.
The necessity for the ignition of the
gas generators given will inflate the
bags to cushion the contact of the front
occupants with the steering wheel and/or the
instrument panel.
The sound generated by the deployment of
the airbags, through the gas generator, is not
harmful to the human auditive system.

Optimum p
rotection is only provided when
the seat is in the proper position, see Seat

able to protect.
Important Recommendations
•
N
ever keep any object between the airbag
and the seat occupants, as in the case
of airbag inflation those may be thrown
against the occupants, causing injuries.
•
Do not install any non-original accessories
in the steering wheel or the instrument
panel, as these may interfere in the
airbag course at the time it inflates, thus
preventing the system operation or with
them being thrown towards the occupants,
resulting in injury.
•
Never modify any airbag components. The
incorrect handling may cause it to inflate
inadvertently, causing the driver or the seat
passenger to be injured.
•
The electronic system that controls the
airbag is located in the front console. In
order to avoid failures, do not place any
magnetic object close to the console.
•
In case vehicle is exposed to any floods, seek
the assistance of aChevrolet Dealer.
•
The steering wheel and instrument panel
disassembly should only be carried out in
aChevrolet Dealer.
•
T
he airbag was designed to discharge
only once. After discharged, it
should be immediately replaced by
aChevrolet Dealer.
•
Do not carry or keep any objects in your
mouth when you are driving. If the airbag
inflates, the risk of injury or fatal accident
will increase considerably.
•
If forwarding the vehicle to anew owner,
please inform the new owner that the
vehicle is featured with an airbag system
and that the instructions within this
manual should be read and followed.
•
Disassembling a vehicle with a non-inflated
airbag may be very dangerous. When
discarding avehicle seek the assistance
of aChevrolet Dealer.
