Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag
system. Improper service can

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 Cadillac
Air bags affect how
your
Cadillac 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
Cadillac dealer and the Cadillac 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.
I
A
CAUTION:
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.
