Servicing the
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Airbags affect how the vehicle should
be serviced. There are parts of the
airbag system in several places around
the vehicle. Your dealer and the
service manual have information
about servicing the vehicle and the
airbag system. To purchase a service
manual, seePublication Ordering
Information 0393.
{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.
The operation of the airbag system
can also 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,
overhead console, ceiling trim,
or pillar garnish trim
.Inner door seals, including speakers
Your dealer and the service manual
have information about the location of
the airbag modules and sensors, sensing and diagnostic module, and
airbag wiring along with the proper
replacement procedures.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for the front
outboard passenger position, which
includes sensors that are part of the
passenger seat. The passenger sensing
system may not operate properly if
the original seat trim is replaced with
non-GM covers, upholstery, or trim; or
with GM covers, upholstery, or trim
designed for a different vehicle. Any
object, such as an aftermarket seat
heater or a comfort-enhancing pad or
device, installed under or on top of
the seat fabric, could also interfere
with the operation of the passenger
sensing system. This could either
prevent proper deployment of the
passenger airbag(s) or prevent the
passenger sensing system from
properly turning off the passenger
airbag(s). See
Passenger Sensing
System 060.
If the vehicle has rollover roof-rail
airbags, see Different Size Tires and
Wheels 0335 for additional important
information.

must be secured with properly
installed cross rails and other
accessories designed to carry cargo.
These can be purchased from your
dealer.
{Warning
Before driving and occasionally
during a trip, check that cargo is
securely fastened, rests evenly
between the cross rails and does
not block the vehicle's lamps or
windows. Never load cargo directly
on the roof of the vehicle or allow
cargo to hang over the rear or sides
of the vehicle. Never load cargo
without first properly installing
cross rails and other accessories
designed to carry cargo. Personal
injury, death or damage to the
vehicle or other property may occur.
If driving for a long distance, on rough
roads, or at high speeds, occasionally
stop the vehicle to make sure the
cargo remains in its place.
Cargo Weight Limits
Do not exceed the maximum cargo
weight for the roof rack system,
including the weight of the cross rails
and any other accessories used to
