2009 Cadillac XLR-V Owner's Manual - Page 49

In many crashes severe enough to inflate the 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 the 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. United States • The vehicle has a crash sensing and diagnostic module which records information after a crash. See Vehicle Data Recording and Privacy on page 8-16 and Event Data Recorders on page 8-17. • Let only qualified technicians work on the airbag system. Improper service can mean that the airbag system will not work properly. See your dealer/ retailer for service. Canada The words ON and OFF, or the symbol for on and off, will be visible during the system check. When the system check is complete, either the word ON or OFF, or the symbol for on or off, will be visible. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 3-45. Passenger Sensing System The vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the right front passenger position.
