Passenger Sensing; System - GMC LYRIQ 2023 Owner's Manual

66 Seats and Restraints
systems are damaged in the
crash they may not operate as
normal.
Warning
A crash severe enough to
inflate the airbags may have
also damaged important
functions in the vehicle, such
as the brake and steering
systems, etc. Even if the
vehicle appears to be
drivable after a moderate
crash, there may be
concealed damage that
could make it difficult to
safely operate the vehicle.
Use caution if attempting to
restart the vehicle after a
crash has occurred.
Plug-in vehicles have a high
voltage battery and a
standard 12-volt battery.
If an airbag inflates or the
vehicle has been in a crash,
the sensing system may shut
down the high voltage system.
When this occurs, the high
voltage battery is
disconnected and the vehicle
will not start. Before the
vehicle can be operated again,
it must be serviced at your
dealer.
In many crashes severe
enough to inflate the airbag,
windshields are broken by
vehicle deformation. Additional
windshield breakage may also
occur from the front outboard
passenger airbag.
Airbags are designed to
inflate only once. After an
airbag inflates, you will need
some new parts for the
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 the vehicle
covers the need to replace
other parts.
The vehicle has a crash
sensing and diagnostic
module which records
information after a crash.
See Vehicle Data Recording
and Privacy 0 397 and
Event Data Recorders 0 398.
Let only qualified technicians
work on the airbag system.
Improper service can mean
that an airbag system will
not work properly. See your
dealer for service.
