Oldsmobile cutlass supreme 1996 Owner's Manual page 32

Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and
diagnostic module, which records information
about the air bag system. The module records
information about the readiness of the system,
when the sensors are activated and driver's safety
belt usage at deployment.
Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag
system. Improper service can mean that your air bag
system won't work properly. See your retailer
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
Oldsmobile
Air
bags
affect
how your Oldsmobile should be serviced.
There are parts of the a i r bag system in several places
around your vehcle. You don't want the system to inflate
while someone is working on your vehicle. Your
Oldsmobile retailer and the Cutlass Supreme 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.
For up to 10 seconds 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.
