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 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.
A
CAUTION:
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.
