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 dealer for
service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the cover for the driver's air bag,
it
may
not work properly.
You
may have to
replace the air bag module. Do not open or break
the air bag cover.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac
Air bags affect how your Cadillac 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
Cadillac dealer and the Cadillac 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 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
1
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.
