Airbag Off Switch - GMC 2005 Savana Van Owner's Manual

•
Airbags are designed to inflate only once. After an
airbag inflates, you will need some new parts
for your airbag system. If you do not get them,
the airbag system will not be there to help
protect you in another crash. A new system will
include airbag modules and possibly other parts.
The service manual for your vehicle covers the need
to replace other parts.
•
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information after
a crash. See Vehicle Data Collection and Event
Data Recorders on page 7-10.
•
Let only qualified technicians work on your airbag
system. Improper service can mean that your
airbag system will not work properly. See your
dealer for service.
Notice: If you damage the covering for the driver's
or the right front passenger's airbag, the bag may not
work properly. You may have to replace the airbag
module in the steering wheel or both the airbag
module and the instrument panel for the right front
passenger's airbag. Do not open or break the airbag
coverings.
