In many crashes severe enough to inflate an air bag,
windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may also occur from
the right front passenger air bag.
Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After an
air bag inflates, you'll need some new parts for your
air bag system. If you don't get them, the air bag
system won't be there to help protect you in another
crash. A new system will include air bag modules
and possibly other parts. The service manual for your
vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic frontal
sensor, which helps the sensing system distinguish
between a moderate frontal impact and a more
severe frontal impact. Your vehicle is also equipped
with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which
records information about the frontal air bag system.
The module records information about the
readiness of the system, when the system commands
air bag inflation and driver's safety belt usage
at deployment. The module also records speed,
engine rpm, brake and throttle data.Let only qualified technicians work on your
air bag systems. Improper service can mean that
an air bag system won't work properly.
See your dealer for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the covering for the driver's or
the right front passenger's air bag, or the air bag
covering on the driver's and right front
passenger's seatback, the bag may not work
properly. You may have to replace the air bag
module in the steering wheel, both the air bag
module and the instrument panel for the right
front passenger's air bag, or both the air bag
module and seatback for the driver's and right
front passenger's side impact air bag. Do not
open or break the air bag coverings.

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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 your
dealer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will
not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only
four transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match additional transmitters to
your vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.
