Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped
Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts
of
the air bag systems in several places
around your vehicle. Your dealer and the service
manual have information about servicing your vehicle
and the air bag systems.
To
purchase a service manual,
see
Service Publications Ordering Information on
page
7-10.
For
up
to
10
seconds 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 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 systems
do
not need regular maintenance.
