In many crashes severe enough to inﬂate an airbag,

windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.

Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the

right front passenger airbag.

• Airbags are designed to inﬂate only once. After an

airbag inﬂates, you will need some new parts for your

airbag system. If you do not get them, the airbag

system will not be there to help protect you in another

crash. A new system will include airbag modules and

possibly other parts. The service manual for your

vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.

• Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and

diagnostic module which records information after a

crash. See Vehicle Data Collection and Event Data

Recorders on page 7-9.

• Let only qualiﬁed technicians work on your airbag

system. Improper service can mean that your airbag

system will not work properly. See your dealer for

service.

Notice: If you damage the covering for the driver’s

or the right front passenger’s airbag, the bag

may not work properly. You may have to replace the

airbag module in the steering wheel or both the

airbag module and the instrument panel for the right

front passenger’s airbag. Do not open or break

the airbag coverings.

Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped

Vehicle

Airbags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.

There are parts of the airbag system in several places

around your vehicle. You don’t want the system to inﬂate

while someone is working on your vehicle. Your

dealer and the service manual have information about

servicing your vehicle and the airbag system. To

purchase a service manual, see Service Publications

Ordering Information on page 7-11.
