Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac
Air bags affect how your Catera should be serviced.
There
are
parts of the air bag systems in several places
around your vehicle. Your Catera dealer and the Catera
Service Manual have information about servicing your
vehicle and the air bag systems. To purchase a service
manual, see "Service and Owner Publications" in
the Index.
A
JAUTION:
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 felt,
wires wrapped with yellow tape or yellow
connectors. They
are
probably part of the air bag
systems. Be sure to follow proper service
procedures, and make sure the person
performing work for you is qualified to do so.
The air bag systems do not need regular maintenance.
Rear Seat Passengers
It's very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear
seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren't safety belted can be thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
