Servicing Your Cadillac with the Air Bag System
Please tell or remind anyone who works on your Cadillac that it has the
air bag system. 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.The air bag system does not need regular
maintenance. Your Cadillac dealer and the
1993 Cadillac Service Manual
have information about the air
bag system, including repair or disposal.
When electrical work
is done under the hood or inside your vehicle, the
ignition should be
in “Lock” if possible. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow
tape, or yellow connectors. They are probably part
of the air bag system.
Your vehicle has the driver’s air bag only. The driver’s air bag must be
disconnected
if the ignition has to be on for electrical work or if the the
steering column is
to be disassembled. Disconnect the driver’s air bag like
this:
Turn off the ignition.
