Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
The
air bag affects 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
GM
dealer and the 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.
For up to two minutes after the ignition key is
turned
off
and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured if you are close to an air bag when
it inflates. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape,
or yellow connectors. They are probably part of
the air bag system. Be sure to follow proper
service procedures, and make sure the person
performing work for you is qualified to do
so.
The
air bag system does not need regular maintenance.
Adding Equipment to Your Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Q.’
If
I
add a push bumper
or
a bicycle rack to the
front of my vehicle, will it keep the air bag from
working properly?
A:
As
long as the push bumper or bicycle rack is
attached
to
your vehicle
so
that the vehicle’s basic
structure isn’t changed, it’s not likely to keep the
air bags from working properly in a crash.
What if
I
add
a
snow plow? Will it keep the air
bag from working properly?
A:
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.
