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 cover for the driver’s or the
right front passenger’s air bag, they 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 covers.
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 vehcle.
You
don’t want the system to inflate
while someone is working on your vehicle. Your
Oldsmobile retailer and the Cutlass Supreme 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
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 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.
