Your vehicle is equipped with a crash 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 retailer for service. Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Oldsmobile Air bags affect how your Oldsmobile should be serviced. There are parts of the air bag system in several places around your vehicle. You don't want the system to inflate while someone is working on your vehicle. Your Oldsmobile retailer and the Silhouette Service Manual have information about servicing your vehicle and the air bag system. To purchase a service manual, see "Service and Owner Publications" in the Index. NOTICE: If you damage the cover 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 steeringwheel or both the air bag module and the instrument panel for the passenger's air bag. Do not open or break theair bag covers.
