Your vehicle is equipped with
a
crash sensing and
diagnostic module, which records information
about the 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
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 or the
right front passenger's air bag, they may not
work properly.. You may have to replace the
air bag module in the steering wheel or both the
air bag module and the instrument panel for the
right front passenger's air bag. Do not open or
break the air bag covers.
Servicing Yodr Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle 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
GM
dealer and the 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 minutes 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
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.
