Passenger Sensing System - Pontiac 2007 G5 Owner's Manual

In many crashes severe enough to inflate an 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 the 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 403.
•
Let only qualified technicians work on the
airbag system. Improper service can mean
that your airbag system will not work properly.
See your dealer for service.
