Adding Equipment to Your
Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle
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.
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 in Step Two
of the
Customer Satisfaction Procedure on page
