The air bag affects how your vehicle should be serv: d.
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
GM dealer and the 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.
A CAUTION:
m
For up to two 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.
c
Adding Equipment to Your
Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
e.@ If I add a push bumper or a bicycle rack to the
front of
my vehicle, will it keep the air bag from
working properly?
A: As long as the push bumper or bicycle rack is
attached to your vehicle
so that the vehicle’s basic
structure isn’t changed, it’s not likely to keep the
air bags from working properly
in a’crash.
e.@ Is there anything I might add to the front of the
vehicle that could keep the air bag from
working properly?
A: Yes. If you add things that change your vehicle’s
frame, bumper system, front end sheet metal or
height, they may keep the air bag system from working properly. Also, the air bag system may not
work properly if you relocate any of the.& bag sensors.
If you have any question about this, you
should contact Customer Assistance before you
.
modify your vehicle. (The phone numbers and
addresses
for Customer Assistance are in Step Two of
the Customer Satisfaction Procedure
in this manual.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through
your dealer. Remember
to bring any remaining
transmitters with
you when you go to your dealer. When
the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter is coded,
the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle
can have only two transmitters matched to
it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain
transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter
won’t work at the normal range in any location. If you
have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time
to change the batteries.
