Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle - GMC 1996 Sonoma Owner's Manual

Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
The air bag affects how your vehicle 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
GM
dealer and the service manual have information
about servicing your vehicle and the air bag system.
To purchase a service manual, see "Service and Owner
Publications'' in the Index.
For up to two minutes after the ignition key is
turned
off
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.
