There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which has
“INFL REST.” or “INFLATABLE RESTRAINT” on it. The system
checks for electrical malfunctions, and the light tells you
if there is a
problem.
INFLATABLE
RESTRAINT
You will see this light
flash for a
few
seconds when you
turn your ignition to
“Run” or “Start.”
Then the light should
go out, which means
the system is ready.
Remember,
if the air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when you start
your vehicle, or stays on,
or comes on when you are driving, your air bag
system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine In many crashes severe enough to inflate an air bag, windshields are
broken by vehicle deformation. Additional windshield breakage may
occur in vehicles with passenger air bags because the windshield acts as a
reaction surface for the inflating air bag.

The air bags are designed to inflate only once. After they inflate, you’ll
need some new parts for your air bag system. If you don’t get them, the air
bag system won’t be there to help protect you in another crash.
A new
system will include air bag modules and possibly other parts. The service
manual has information about the need to replace other parts.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module, which records
information about the air bag system if the air bag deploys in a crash.
The module records information about the readiness
of the system,
which sensors activated the deployment, and whether the driver’s
safety belt was in use.
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 cover for the driver’s or the right-front
passenger’s air bag, they may not work properly.
You may have
to replace the air bag on the steering wheel or both the air bag
and the instrument panel for the passenger‘s air bag.
Do not
open or break the air bag covers.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Is the smoke from an air bag inflation harmful?
The particles emitted during air bag inflation are not harmful to most
people. Some people with respiratory ailments may experience difficulty
breathing
if they stay in the vehicle with the windows closed after air bag
inflation.
So, if your air bag inflates, you and any passengers should exit
the vehicle
if and when it is safe to do so. If you or your passengers can’t
get out of the vehicle, try to get fresh air by opening a window, turning on
the fan, or opening a door.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac
Air bags affect how your Cadillac 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
Cadillac dealer and the
1994 Seville Service Manual have information
about servicing your vehicle and the air bag system. The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.
