is why safety belts make such good sense. A: Airbags are in many vehicles today and will be in most of them in the future. But they are supplemental systems only; so they work with safety belts - not instead of them. Every airbag system ever offered for sale has required the use of safety belts - 2007 Pontiac G6 | Owner's Manual - Page 27
systems your vehicle has. We will start with the driver position. A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you are in an accident - even one that is not your fault - you and your passengers can be hurt.
