diagnostic module which records information after a
crash. See Vehicle Data Collection and Event Data
Recorders on page 7-10.

Let only qualified technicians work on your airbag
system. Improper service can mean that an airbag
system will not work properly. See your dealer for
service.
Notice: If you damage the covering for the driver's
or the right front passenger's airbag, or the airbag
covering on the driver's and right front passenger's
seatback, the airbag may not work properly.
You may have to replace the airbag module in the
steering wheel, both the airbag module and the
instrument panel for the right front passenger's
airbag, or both the airbag module and seatback
for the driver's and right front passenger's
side impact airbag. Do not open or break the
airbag coverings.

Passenger Sensing System

If your rearview mirror has one of the indicators pictured
in the following illustrations, your vehicle has a passenger
sensing system. The indicator will be visible when you
turn your ignition key to START or RUN. The words
ON and OFF or the symbol for on and off, will be visible
on the rearview mirror during the system check. When
the system check is complete, either the word ON or the
word OFF, or the symbol for on or the symbol for off will
be visible. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on
page 3-33. If your rearview mirror does not have either of
the indicators pictured, then your vehicle does not have
the passenger sensing system.
