Cadillac 2007 Escalade - Manual (Page 90)

Here are the most important things to know about
the airbag system:
{ CAUTION:
You can be severely injured or killed
in a crash if you are not wearing your
safety belt — even if you have airbags.
Wearing your safety belt during a crash
helps reduce your chance of hitting things
inside the vehicle or being ejected from it.
Airbags are “supplemental restraints” to
the safety belts. All airbags are designed
to work with safety belts but do not
replace them.
Frontal airbags for the driver and
right front passenger are designed to
deploy in moderate to severe frontal
and near frontal crashes. They are not
designed to inflate in rollover, rear
crashes, or in many side crashes.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
And, for some unrestrained occupants,
frontal airbags may provide less
protection in frontal crashes than more
forceful airbags have provided in the past.
Roof-mounted rollover airbags are
designed to inflate in moderate to severe
crashes where something hits the side
of your vehicle, during a vehicle rollover,
or in a severe frontal impact. They are
not designed to inflate in rear crashes.
If your vehicle has roof rail airbags,
they are designed to provide both side
impact protection and rollover protection.
Everyone in your vehicle should wear
a safety belt properly — whether or not
there is an airbag for that person.
