Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle - Chevrolet 2005 Silverado 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual

Aftermarket equipment, such as seat covers, can affect
how well the passenger sensing system operates.
You may want to consider not using seat covers or
other aftermarket equipment if your vehicle has the
passenger sensing system. See Adding Equipment
to Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-78 for
more information about modifications that can affect
how the system operates.
CAUTION:
{
Stowing of articles under the passenger's
seat or between the passenger's seat cushion
and seatback may interfere with the proper
operation of the passenger sensing system.
Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle
Airbags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts of the airbag system in several places
around your vehicle. You do not want the system to
inflate while someone is working on your vehicle.
Your dealer and the service manual have information
about servicing your vehicle and the airbag system.
To purchase a service manual, see Service Publications
Ordering Information on page 7-13.
CAUTION:
{
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected,
an airbag can still inflate during improper
service. You can be injured if you are close
to an airbag when it inflates. Avoid yellow
connectors. They are probably part of the
airbag system. Be sure to follow proper
service procedures, and make sure the person
performing work for you is qualified to do so.
The airbag system does not need regular maintenance.
