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
dealer for service.
Servicing Your
Air
Bag-Equipped
Chevrolet
Air
bags affect how your Chevrolet 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
Chevrolet dealer and the Cavalier 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.
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.
I
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.
