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.
e
0
e
Air
bags
are
designed
to
inflate
only
once.
After
they
inflate,
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
reglace
other
parts.
Your
vehicle is equipped wityi a,t-fslsh
sensing
and
diagnostic
module,
which
records
information
about
the
air
bag
system.
The
module
records
information
about
the
readiness
of the
system,
when
the
sensors
are
activated
and
driver’s
safety
belt
usage
at
deployment.
Let only
qualified
technicians
work
on
your
air
bag
system.
Improper
service
can
mean
that
your
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,
the
bag
may
not
work
properly.
You
may
have
to
replace
the
air
bag
module
in
the
steering
wheel
or
both
the
air
bag
module
and
the
instrument
panel
for
the
right
front
passenger’s
air
bag.
Do
not
open
or
break
the
air
bag
coverings.
If
your
vehicle
ever
gets
into
a
lot
of
water
--
such
as
water
up
to
the
carpeting
or
higher
--
or
if
water
enters
your
vehicle
and
soaks
the
carpet,
the
air
bag
controller
can
be
soaked
and
ruined.
If
this
ever
happens,
and
then
you start
your
vehicle,
the
damage
could
make
the
air
bags
inflate,
even
if
there’s
no
crash.
You
would
have
to
replace
the
air
bags
as
well
as
the
sensors
and
related
parts. If your
vehicle
is
ever
in
a
flood,
or
if
it’s
exposed
to
water
that
soaks
the carpet,
you
can
avoid
needless
repair
costs by turning
off
the
vehicle
immediately.
Don’t
let
anyone
start
the
vehicle,
even
to
tow
it, unless
the
battery
cables
are
first disconnected.
