Servicing Your Facial Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle The facial air bag affects 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 GM dealer and the 1995 GM Service Manual have information about servicing your vehicle and the air bag system. To purchase a service manual, in bag see "Service Publications" the Index. The air system does not need regular maintenance. Adding Equipment to Your Facial Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle 0: I add a push bumper or a bicycle rack to thefront of my vehicle, If will it keep the air bag from working properly? A: As long as the push bumper or bicycle rack is attached toyour 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. Q: 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, frontend 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 air bag sensors. If you have any question about this, you should contactCustomer Assistance before you modify your vehicle.
