AKENG44_Escalade Page 198 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Seats and Restraints CAUTION (Continued) It is therefore recommended that child restraints be secured in a rear seat position even if the front passenger's air bag is turned off. In fact, because the risk to a rear-facing child is so great if the air bag deploys, there is a label on your vehicle's sun visor that cautions you never to put a rear-facing child seat in the front. CAUTION Frontal air bags are not designed to inflate at all in rollovers, rear collisions, or in many side crashes. Roof-mounted rollover air bags are designed to inflate when either side of the vehicle is struck during a side collision, severe frontal impact or a vehicle rollover. They are not designed to inflate in a rear collision. CAUTION Do not attach anything to the area from where the air bag inflates. If something is between an occupant and an air bag, the air bag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into the occupant, causing severe injury or even death. The path of an inflating air bag must be kept clear of any objects at all times. . . . 198

AKENG44_Escalade Page 199 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 2 Changing or moving any parts of the front seats, safety belts, the air bag sensing and diagnostic module, steering wheel, instrument panel, roof-rail air bag modules, ceiling headliner or pillar garnish trim, overhead console, front sensors, side impact sensors, rollover sensor module, or air bag wiring can affect the operation of the air bag system. Adding equipment to the front or sides of your vehicle may keep the air bags from working properly. Check with your dealer before adding equipment to the outside of your vehicle. CAUTION Do not secure anything to the roof of your vehicle by routing rope or tiedowns through any door or window opening. This will block the inflation path of a roof-mounted side impact air bag. The path of an inflating air bag must be kept clear of any objects at all times. Vehicle occupants should not lean or sleep against the doors or side windows. CAUTION When an air bag inflates, it leaves 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 are unable to get out of the vehicle, then open a window or door. If you experience breathing problems following air bag deployment, you should seek medical attention. – – 199 . . .
