The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women,
as
for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,”
earlier in this section.
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS)
This
part explains the Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) or

Oldsmobile has two
air
bags
--
one
air
bag for the
driver and another air bag for the right front passenger.
Here are the most important things to know about the air

You can be severely injured or killed in a crash
if‘
you aren’t wearing your safety belt
--
even
if
you
have air bags. Wearing your safety belt during
a
crash helps reduce your chance
of
hitting things
inside the vehicle or being ejected from
it.
Air
bags are “supplemental restraints” to the safety
belts. All air bags
are
designed to work with
safety belts, but don’t replace them. Air bags are
designed to work only in moderate to severe
crashes where the front
of
your vehicle hits
something. They aren’t designed to inflate
at
all
in rollover, rear, side or low-speed frontal
crashes. Everyone in your vehicle should wear
a
safety belt properly
--
whether or not there’s an
air bag for that person.
