Passenger Sensing System); Airbag System Check - Chevrolet CORVETTE Owner's Manual

66 Seats and Restraints
Steering wheel, instrument panel, ceiling
trim, or pillar garnish trim
Inner door seals, including speakers
Your retailer and the service manual have
information about the location of the airbag
modules and sensors, sensing and diagnostic
modules and airbag wiring, along with the
proper replacement procedures.
In addition, the vehicle may have a
passenger sensing system for the front
outboard passenger position, which includes
sensors that are part of the passenger seat.
The passenger sensing system may not
operate properly if the original seat trim is
replaced with non-GM covers, upholstery or
trim, or with GM covers, upholstery or trim
designed for a different vehicle. Any object,
such as an aftermarket seat heater or a
comfort-enhancing pad or device, installed
under or on top of the seat fabric, could
also interfere with the operation of the
passenger sensing system. This could either
prevent proper deployment of the passenger
airbag(s) or prevent the passenger sensing
system from properly turning off the
passenger airbag(s). See Passenger Sensing
System (For Left-hand Drive Vehicles with a

Passenger Sensing System) 0 62.

If the vehicle must be modified because you
have a disability and have questions about
whether the modifications will affect the
vehicle's airbag system, or if you have
questions about whether the airbag system
will be affected if the vehicle is modified for
any other reason, see your retailer.
Adding Equipment to the
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle (For
Right-hand Drive Vehicles without
a Passenger Sensing System)
Adding accessories that change the vehicle's
frame, bumper system, height, front end,
or side sheet metal may keep the airbag
system from working properly.
The operation of the airbag system can also
be affected by changing, including
improperly repairing or replacing, any parts
of the following:
Airbag system, including airbag modules,
front or side impact sensors, sensing and
diagnostic module, or airbag wiring
Front seats, including stitching, seams or
zip fasteners
Seat belts
Steering wheel, instrument panel, ceiling
trim, or pillar garnish trim
Inner door seals, including speakers
Your retailer and the service manual have
information about the location of the airbag
modules and sensors, sensing and diagnostic
modules and airbag wiring, along with the
proper replacement procedures.
If the vehicle must be modified because you
have a disability and have questions about
whether the modifications will affect the
vehicle's airbag system, or if you have
questions about whether the airbag system
will be affected if the vehicle is modified for
any other reason, see your retailer.
