Additional windshield breakage may
also occur from the right front
passenger airbag.
. Airbags are designed to inflate
only once. After an airbag
inflates, you will need some new
parts for the airbag system.
If you do not get them, the airbag
system will not be there to help
protect you in another crash.
A new system will include airbag
modules and possibly other
parts. The service manual for
the vehicle covers the need to
replace other parts.
. The vehicle has a crash sensing
and diagnostic module which
records information after a
crash. See

. Let only qualified technicians
work on the airbag systems.

an airbag system will not work
properly. See your dealer
