Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What will you see after an air bag inflates?
After the air bag inflates, it quickly deflates. This occurs so quickly that
some people may not even realize the air bag inflated. Some components
of the air bag module
in the steering wheel hub for the driver’s air bag, or
the instrument panel for the right front passenger’s bag,
will be hot for a
short time, but the part
of the bag that comes into contact with you will
not be hot to the touch. There will be some smoke and dust coming from
vents in the deflated air bags. Air bag inflation will
not prevent the driver
from seeing or from being able
to steer the vehicle, nor will it stop people
from leaving the vehicle.

In many crashes severe enough to inflate an air bag, windshields are
broken by vehicle deformation. Additional windshield breakage may also
occur from the right front passenger 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 for
your vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module, which records
information about the air bag system. The module records information
about the readiness
of the system, when the sensors are activated and
driver’s safety belt usage at deployment.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 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 covers.
Sewicing 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
1995 Seville Service Manual have information
about servicing your vehicle and the air bag system.
To purchase a service
manual, see “Service Publications” in the Index.
The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.

3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock and open the
door. The horn
will sound and your headlamps will flash.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers” in the Index. If the fuse does not need to be replaced
you may need to have your Cadillac serviced.
To reduce the possibility
of theft, always arm the Theft Deterrent system
when leaving your vehicle.
