Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle; Adding Equipment To Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle - Chevrolet 2006 Express Van Owner's Manual

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 7-16.
CAUTION:
{
For up to 10 minutes 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 wires
wrapped with yellow tape or 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.

Adding Equipment to Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Q:
Is there anything I might add to the front of the
vehicle that could keep the airbags from
working properly?
A:
Yes. If you add things that change your vehicle's
frame, bumper system, front end sheet metal or
height, they may keep the airbag system from
working properly. Also, the airbag system may
not work properly if you relocate any of the airbag
sensors. If you have any questions about this,
you should contact Customer Assistance before you
modify your vehicle. The phone numbers and
addresses for Customer Assistance are in Step Two
of the Customer Satisfaction Procedure on
page 7-2.
