Passenger Sensing System - Buick 2007 Rainier Owner's Manual

In many crashes severe enough to inflate the
airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle
deformation. Additional windshield breakage may
also occur from the right front passenger
airbag.
•
Airbags are designed to inflate only once.
After an airbag inflates, you will need
some new parts for your airbag system. If you
do not get them, the airbag system will not
be there to help protect you in another crash.
A new system will include airbag modules
and possibly other parts. The service manual
for your vehicle covers the need to replace
other parts.
•
Your vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information
after a crash. See Vehicle Data Collection and
Event Data Recorders on page 510.
•
Let only qualified technicians work on the
airbag system. Improper service can mean that
an airbag system will not work properly. See
your dealer for service.
