In many crashes sevefe enough to
inflate 'an
air
bag,
windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may also occur
from
the
right front passenger air bag.
Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After an
,
a
i
r
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 pr0tec.t 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 has a crash sensing and diagnostic
__
module, which records information about the air bag
and related systems.
It
records information about the
readiness of
the
air bag systems, when the sensors
are activated and driver's safety belt usage at
deployment or in a near-deployment crash. Some
modules also record speed, engine RPM and brake
and acceleration data.
Let only qualified technicians work on your
air
bag
systems. &proper service can mean that an air bag
system won? work properly. See your dealer
for service.
