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 and

disconnecting the battery cables. Don’t let anyone start

the vehicle under any circumstances. See your dealer

for service.

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 GM 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.
