Adding Equipment to
Your Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Q."
If I
add a push bumper or a bicycle rack to the
front of my vehicle, will it keep the air bags
from
working properly?
A:
As long as the push bumper or bicycle rack is
attached to your vehicle so that the vehicle's basic
structure isn't changed, it's not likely to keep the
air bags from working properly in a crash.
@
Is there anything I might add to the front of the
vehicle that could keep the air bags 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 air bag system from
working properly. Also, the air bag system may not
work properly if you relocate any of the air bag
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 in this
manual. See "Customer Satisfaction Procedure" in
the Index.)
