Servicing the Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle
Airbag system components are located in
several places around the vehicle. Care
should be used when servicing or repairing
the vehicle. It is recommended this be
performed by qualified technicians.
{
Warning
For up to 10 seconds after the vehicle is
turned off and the battery is
disconnected, an airbag can still inflate
during improper service. You can be
injured if you are close to an airbag
when it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors.
They are probably part of the airbag
system. Be sure to follow proper service
procedures, and make sure the person
performing work for you is qualified to
do so.
Adding Equipment to the
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Adding accessories that change the vehicle's
frame, bumper system, height, front end,
or side sheet metal may keep the airbag
system from working properly.

be affected by changing, including
improperly repairing or replacing, any parts
of the following:
.
Airbag system, including airbag modules,
front or side impact sensors, sensing and
diagnostic module, or airbag wiring
.
Front seats, including stitching, seams or
zippers
.
Seat belts

Steering wheel, instrument panel, ceiling
trim, or pillar garnish trim
.
Inner door seals, including speakers
If the vehicle must be modified because you
have a disability and have questions about
whether the modifications will affect the
vehicle's airbag system, or if you have
questions about whether the airbag system
will be affected if the vehicle is modified for
any other reason, see your dealer.

scheduled maintenance or replacement.
