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 crash sensing
and
diagnostic module, which records information about
the
air
bag system.
The
module records intormation
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.
If
you
damage the covering
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
covering.
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 Cadillac Service Manual have
information about servicing your vehicle and the air bag
system.
To
purchase a service manual, see “Service and
Owner Publications” in the Index.
For
up to
18
s&%,dds
after the ignition key
is
turned
off
and the battery
is
disconnected, an air
bag can still idate 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
procedums,
and make sure
the
person
performing
work
for
you
is
qualified
to
do
SQ.
The
air bag system
does
not
need regular maintenance.
