sensing system predicts that thevehicle is about to roll over on itsside, or in a severe frontal impact.
Vehicles with a GVWR above3855 kg (8,500lb) up to andincluding 4 536 kg (10,000 lb) alsohave roof-rail airbags. Theseroof-rail airbags are designed toinflate in moderate to severe sidecrashes depending on the locationof the impact. Both roof-rail airbagswill inflate when either side of thevehicle is struck. In addition, theseroof-rail airbags are designed toinflate in a severe frontal impact.The roof-rail airbags are alsorollover capable except on modelssold as an incomplete vehicle withthe pickup box removed. If theroof-rail airbags are rollovercapable, both roof-rail airbags willalso inflate if the sensing systempredicts that the vehicle is about toroll over on its side. The roof-railairbags are not designed to inflate inrear impacts.
Vehicles with a GVWR above4536kg(10,000lb)mayormaynotbe equipped with roof-rail airbags.These roof-rail airbags, if equipped,
are designed to inflate in moderateto severe side crashes dependingon the location of the impact. Bothroof-rail airbags will inflate wheneither side of the vehicle is struck.In addition, these roof-rail airbagsare designed to inflate in a severefrontal impact. If the vehicle hassingle rear wheels and has afactory-installed pickup box androof-rail airbags, the roof-rail airbagsare rollover capable. If the vehiclehas dual rear wheels, or is sold asan incomplete vehicle, as a chassiscab, or with the pickup boxremoved, and has roof-rail airbags,the roof-rail airbags are not rollovercapable. If the airbags are rollovercapable, both roof-rail airbags willalso inflate if the sensing systempredicts that the vehicle is about toroll over on its side. The roof-railairbags are not designed to inflate inrear impacts.
In any particular crash, no one cansay whether an airbag should haveinflated simply because of thevehicle damage or repair costs.
What Makes an Airbag
Inflate?
In a deployment event, the sensingsystem sends an electrical signaltriggering a release of gas from theinflator. Gas from the inflator fills theairbag causing the bag to break outof the cover. The inflator, the airbag,and related hardware are all part ofthe airbag module.
For airbag locations, seeWhere Arethe Airbags?075.
How Does an Airbag
Restrain?
In moderate to severe frontal ornear frontal collisions, even beltedoccupants can contact the steeringwheel or the instrument panel. Inmoderate to severe side collisions,even belted occupants can contactthe inside of the vehicle.
Airbags supplement the protectionprovided by safety belts bydistributing the force of the impactmore evenly over theoccupant's body.

{Warning
For up to 10 seconds after the
vehicle is turned off and the
battery is disconnected, an airbag
can still inflate during improper
service. You can be injured if you
are close to an airbag when it
inflates. Avoid yellow connectors.
They are probably part of the
airbag system. Be sure to follow
proper service procedures, and
make sure the person performing
work for you is qualified to do so.
Adding Equipment to the
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Adding accessories that change thevehicle's frame, bumper system,height, front end, or side sheetmetal, may keep the airbag systemfrom working properly. Theoperation of the airbag system canalso be affected by changing anyparts of the front seats, safety belts,the airbag sensing and diagnosticmodule, steering wheel, instrumentpanel, any of the airbag modules,
ceiling headliner or pillar garnishtrim, overhead console, frontsensors, side impact sensors,or airbag wiring.
Yo u r d e a l e r a n d t h e s e r v i c e m a n u a lhave information about the locationof the airbag sensors, sensing anddiagnostic module, and airbagwiring.
In addition, the vehicle may have apassenger sensing system for thefront outboard passenger position,which includes sensors that are partof the passenger seat. Thepassenger sensing system may notoperate properly if the original seattrim is replaced with non-GMcovers, upholstery, or trim; or withGM covers, upholstery, or trimdesigned for a different vehicle. Anyobject, such as an aftermarket seatheater or a comfort-enhancing pador device, installed under or on topof the seat fabric, could alsointerfere with the operation of thepassenger sensing system. Thiscould either prevent properdeployment of the passengerairbag(s) or prevent the passengersensing system from properly
turning off the passenger airbag(s).SeePassenger SensingSystem082.
If the vehicle has rollover roof-railairbags, seeDifferent Size Tiresand Wheels0416for additionalimportant information.
If a snow plow is added to thevehicle, the airbags should still workproperly. The airbag systems weredesigned to work properly under awide range of conditions, includingsnow plowing with vehicles thathave the optional snow plow preppackage (RPO VYU). Do notchange or defeat the snow plow's“tripping mechanism.”If you do, itcan damage the snow plow and thevehicle, and may cause an airbagdeployment.
If you have to modify your vehiclebecause you have a disability andyou have questions about whetherthe modifications will affect thevehicle's airbag system, or if youhave questions about whether theairbag system will be affected if thevehicle is modified for any other
