If you do have a crash, you don't know if it will be a bad one.

The shoulder belt should fit against your body. A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won't give nearly as much protection - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue | Owner's Manual - Page 23
Q: What's wrong with this? CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen.

The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. See "Air Bag Readiness Light" in the Index - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue | Owner's Manual - Page 30
How the Air Bag System Works The right front passenger's air bag is in the instrument panel on the passenger's side. Where are the air bags? The driver's air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. 1-24 - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue | Owner's Manual - Page 31

Make sure that the infant's head rests toward the center of the vehicle. 1-39 - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue | Owner's Manual - Page 46
the seating surface against the back of the infant. The harness system holds the infant in place and, in a crash, acts to keep the infant positioned in the restraint. A forward-facing child seat (C-E) provides restraint for the child's body with the harness and also sometimes with surfaces such as - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue | Owner's Manual - Page 47
How do child restraints work? A child restraint system is any device designed for use in a motor vehicle to restrain, seat, or position children.

CAUTION: Never do this. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind the child. If the child wears the belt in this way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The belt's force would then be applied right on the child's abdomen.
