Adding Equipment to Your Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle
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
struct.ure isn’t changed, it’s not likely to keep the
air bags from working properly
in
a crash.
Q:
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

Step Two
of
the Customer Satisfxtion Procedure
in
this manual.
See “Customer Satisfaction Procedure”
in
the Index.)
