In
many
crashes severe enough
to
inflate an air bag,
windshields are broken
by
vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may
also
occur from the
right front passenger air bag.
Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After they
inflate, you’ll need some new parts for your air bag
system. If you don’t get them, the air bag system
won’t be there to help protect you in another crash.
A new system will include air bag modules and
possibly other parts. The service manual for your
vehicle covers the need
to
replace other parts.
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.
