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
a i r
bag
system. Improper service can mean that your
a i r
bag system won't work properly. See your dealer
for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the covering for the driver's
or the
right front passenger's air bag, the bag 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 coverings.
If your vehicle ever gets into a lot of water
--
such as
water up to the carpeting or higher
--
or if water enters
your vehicle and
soaks
the carpet, the air bag controller
can be soaked and ruined. If this ever happens, and then
you start your vehicle, the damage could make the
air
bags inflate, even if there's no crash. You would have
to
replace the
air
bags as well as the sensors
and
related
parts. If your vehicle is ever in a flood, or if it's exposed
to water that soaks the
carpet,
you
can
avoid needless
repair costs by turning off the vehicle immediately.
Don't let anyone start the vehicle, even to tow it, unless
the battery cables are fist disconnected.
Servicing Your 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
dealer and the Grand Prix 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.
