Air Bag Off Switch - Chevrolet Corvette 2003 Owner's Manual

passenger air bag.

Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After an
air bag inflates, you'll need some new parts for
your air bag system. If you don't get them, the air
bag system won't be there to help protect you
in another crash. A new system will include air bag
modules and possibly other parts. The service
manual for your vehicle covers the need to replace
other parts.
•
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module,
which records information about the air bag
system. The module records information about the
readiness of the system, when the system
commands air bag inflation and driver's safety belt
usage at deployment. The module also records
speed, engine rpm, brake and throttle data.
•
Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag
systems. Improper service can mean that an air
bag system won't work properly. See your dealer for
service.
Notice: If you damage the covering for the driver's
or the passenger's air bag, the bag may not work
properly. You may have to replace the air bag
module in the steering wheel or both the air bag
module and the instrument panel for the
passenger's air bag. Do not open or break the air
bag coverings.
