Adding Equipment to Your Air
Bag-Equipped Geo
Q.”
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.
e.’’
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
frame, bumper system, front 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.)
Rear Seat Passengers
It’s
very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people
in
the rear
seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown
out of the vehicle
in
a crash. And
they
can strike others
in
the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
