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.
