Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle; Adding Equipment To Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle - Hummer 2009 H3 Owner's Manual

1-58 Seats and Restraint System
A thick layer of additional material,
such as a blanket or cushion, or
aftermarket equipment such as seat
covers, seat heaters, and seat
massagers can affect how well
the passenger sensing system
operates. We recommend that you
not use seat covers or other
aftermarket equipment except when
approved by GM for your specific
vehicle. See Adding Equipment
to Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on
page 1-58 for more information
about modifications that can affect
how the system operates.

CAUTION
Stowing of articles under the
passenger seat or between the
passenger seat cushion and
seatback may interfere with the
proper operation of the passenger
sensing system.
Servicing Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Airbags affect how the vehicle
should be serviced. There are parts
of the airbag system in several
places around the vehicle. Your
dealer/retailer and the service
manual have information about
servicing the vehicle and the airbag
system. To purchase a service
manual, see Service Publications
Ordering Information on page 7-15.

CAUTION
For up to 10 seconds after the
ignition 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.
CAUTION (Continued)
Avoid 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.
