these air bags to deploy and all
the air bags can stay inflated for
up to five seconds in the event of
a rollover.
10Always use safety belts and the correct
child restraint for your child’s age and
size, even with air bags. Even in vehicles
equipped with the Passenger Sensing
System, children are safer when properly
secured in a rear seat in the appropriate
infant, child or booster seat. Never place
a rear-facing infant restraint in the front
seat of any vehicle equipped with an
active frontal air bag. See your vehicle
Owner’s Manual and child safety seat
instructions for more safety information.
REINFORCED STEEL SAFETY
CAGE DESIGN Savana’s high-
strength steel frame is tied into
the main body structure with
reinforced body sills, roof pillars
and a reinforced floor. This
design creates a safety cage
that surrounds passengers and
helps to maintain passenger
compartment integrity in the
event of a collision.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM11 Properly inflated tires
are important to your comfort,
vehicle control and economy. The
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
uses tiny sensors inside the wheels
to “broadcast” tire pressure to your
vehicle, which alerts you to their
status and inflation level through
the Driver Information Center. If
you subscribe to OnStar Vehicle
Diagnostics on equipped vehicles,
this information is part of their
monthly e-mail update, or if you
have the RemoteLink App,12 you
can check the status instantly.
