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 air bag system.
Your 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 bag system:
You
can be severely injured or kill-- 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.
