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 air
bag system. Improper service can mean that your
air 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 first disconnected.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts
sf 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 Sunfire 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.
