Adding
Equipment

Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
@
If I add
a
push bumper
or
a
bicycle rack to the
front
of
my vehicle, will it keep the air bags
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.
Is
there anything
I
might add to the front of the
vehicle that could keep the air bags from
working properly?
A:
Yes. If
you
add things that change your vehicle’s
frame, bumper system, front end sheet metal or
height, they may keep the air bag system from
working properly. Also, the air bag system may not
work properly if
you
relocate any
of
the air bag
sensors. If you have any question about this,
you
should contact Customer Assistance before you
