Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and
diagnostic module, which records information about
the frontal 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 systems. Improper service can mean that an
air bag system won't work properly. See your dealer
for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the covering for the
driver's or
the right front passenger's
air
bag, or the air
bag covering on the driver's and right front
passenger's seatback, the bag may not work
properly. You may have
to
replace the air bag
module in the steering wheel, both the air bag
module and the instrument panel for the right
front passenger's air bag, or both the
air
bag
module and seatback for the driver's and right
front passenger's side impact air bag. Do not
open or break the air bag coverings.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should
be serviced.
There are parts of the air bag systems in several places
around your vehicle. Your 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.
I
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.
