Servicing Your
Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect 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
dealer and the Tracker 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
15
seconds 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.
The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.

Adding Equipment to Your Air
Bag-Equipped Chevrolet
@
If
I
add a push bumper or a bicycle rack to the
front
of
my vehicle, will it keep the air bags
from working properly?
A:
As
long as the push bumper
or
bicycle rack is
attached to your vehicle
so
that the vehicle’s basic
structure isn’t changed, it’s not likely to keep the
air bags from working properly in
a
crash.
@
Is
there anything
I
might add to the front
of
the vehicle that could keep the air bags from
working properly?
A:
Yes.
If
you add things that change your vehicle’s
fi-ame, bumper system, fiont end sheet metal or
height, they may keep the
air
bag system from
working properly.
Also,
the
air
bag system may not
work properly if you relocate
any
of
the
air
bag
sensors.
If
you have any questions about
this,
you
should contact Customer Assistance before you
modify
your
vehicle. (The phone numbers and
addresses for Customer Assistance are in Step Two
of
the Customer Satisfaction Procedure in this manual.
See
“Customer Satisfaction Procedure”
in
the Index.)
