Your
vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and
diagnostic module, which records information about
the
air
bag system. The module records information
about the readiness of the system, when the sensors are
activated and driver’s safety belt usage at deployment.
Let only qualified technicians work on your
air
bag
system. Improper service can mean that your
air
bag
system won’t work properly. See your retailer
for service.
NOTICE:
If
you damage the covering for the driver’s or the
right front passenger’s
air
bag, the bag
may
not
work properly. You may have to replace the air
bag module in the steering wheel or both the
air
bag module and the instrument panel for the
right front passenger’s
air
bag.
Do
not open or
break the
air
bag coverings.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped
Oldsmobile
Air bags affect how
your
Oldsmobile 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
Oldsmobile retailer and the Eighty-Eight 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
10
minutes 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.
