Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag

system won't work properly. See your dealer for
service.

NOTICE:
If you damage the cover for the driver's or the
right front passenger's air bag, they 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
right front passenger's
air bag. Do not open or
break the air bag covers.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac
Air bags affect how
your Cadillac should be serviced.
There are parts of the air bag system in several places
around your vehicle. You don't want the system to
inflate while someone is working on your vehicle. Your
Cadillac dealer and the Cadillac service manual have
information about servicing your vehicle and the
a i r
bag
system. To purchase a service manual, see "Service and
Owner Publications" in the Index.

A
CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned
o f f
and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured if you are close to an
air bag when
it inflates. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape
or
yellow connectors. They are probably part of
the air bag system. Be sure to follow proper
service procedures, and make sure the person
performing work for you is qualified to do so.
The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.
