Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
NOTICE:
If you damage the cover for the driver’s air bag, it may not work
properly. You may have to replace the air bag module.
Do not
open or break the air bag cover.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
The air bag affects 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 GM
dealer and the
1995 GM 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.
I A CAUTION:
For up to 2 minutes after the ignition key is turned off and the
battery
is disconnected, an air bag can still inflate during
improper service. You can be injured
if you are close to an air
bag when,it inflates. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape, or
yellow connectors. They are probably part
of the air bag system.
Be sure to follow proper service procedures, and make sure the
person performing work for you is qualified to do
so.
