Adding Equipment To Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle - GMC 2007 Acadia Owner's Manual

Adding Equipment to Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Q:
Is there anything I might add to the
exterior 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, height,
front end or side sheet metal, 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 in this manual. See Customer
Satisfaction Procedure.
If your vehicle has rollover roof-rail airbags,
see Different Size Tires and Wheels on
page 452 for additional important information.
Q:
Because I have a disability, I have to get
my vehicle modified. How can I find out
whether this will affect my airbag system?
A:
Changing or moving any parts of the
front seats, safety belts, the airbag sensing
and diagnostic module, steering wheel,
instrument panel, roof-rail airbag modules,
ceiling headliner, and pillar garnish trim, side
impact sensors, rollover sensor module,
or airbag wiring can affect the operation of the
airbag system. If you have questions, call
Customer Assistance. The phone numbers
and addresses for Customer Assistance are in
Step Two of the Customer Satisfaction
Procedure in this manual. See Customer
Satisfaction Procedure on page 518.
Your dealer/retailer and the service manual have
information about the location of the airbag
sensors, sensing and diagnostic module and
airbag wiring.
