Steering - Chevrolet Trailblazer Service Manual

Vehicles equipped with safety canopy modules are also equipped with seat side air bag
modules. Safety canopy modules deploy from the headliner, protecting the first and
second row outboard occupants or first, second and third row outboard occupants during a
side impact or if a rollover condition is detected. Seat side air bag modules deploy from the
outboard front seat backrest upon a side impact.
The front impact severity sensors are located on the radiator support bracket near the front
headlamp assemblies.
The first row side impact sensors (if equipped) are located at or near the base of the B-
pillars.
The second row side impact sensors (if equipped) are located near the C-pillars.

WARNING
To avoid personal injury and/or vehicle damage, refer to the service precautions at the
beginning of this section.
WARNING
Most vehicles are equipped with an air bag system, also known as the Supplemental
Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system or Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The system
must be disabled before performing service on or around system components, steering
column, instrument panel components, wiring and sensors. Failure to follow safety and
disabling procedures could result in accidental air bag deployment, possible personal
injury and unnecessary system repairs.
CAUTION
Many systems require special tools or equipment to service the (SIR/SRS) system. If you
are unfamiliar with these systems or do not have the proper training and equipment you
should not attempt to remove or disconnect the (SIR/SRS) components.
