What if I added a snow plow? Will it keep the

air bags from working properly?

We've designed our air bag systems to work

properly under a wide range of conditions,

including snow plowing with vehicles equipped

with the optional Snow Plow Prep Package (RPO

VYU). But don't change or defeat the snow

plow's "tripping mechanism." If you do, it can

damage your snow plow and your vehicle, and it

may cause an air bag inﬂation.

Restraint System Check

Now and then, make sure the safety belt reminder light

and all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors

and anchorages are working properly. Look for any other

loose or damaged safety belt system parts. If you see

anything that might keep a safety belt system from doing

its job, have it repaired.

Torn or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a

crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt

is torn or frayed, get a new one right away.

Also look for any opened or broken air bag covers, and

have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system

does not need regular maintenance.)
