In many crashes sevefe 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.
Air
bags are designed
to
inflate
only
once. After
an
,air
bag inflates, 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 pr0tec.t 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 has a crash sensing and diagnostic
__
module, which records information about the
air
bag
and related systems.
It
records information about the
readiness
of
the
air
bag
systems, when the sensors
are
activated and driver’s safety belt usage at
deployment or
in
a near-deployment crash. Some
modules also record speed, engine
RPM
and
brake
and acceleration data.
Let only qualified technicians
work
on
your
air
bag
systems. &proper service can mean that an
air
bag
system won? work properly. See your dealer
for service.

you damage ,the covering for the driver’s or the
right front passenger’s
air
bag, or the
air
bag

You may have to replace the air bag module
in

passenger’s air bag,
