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
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
fist disconnected.
Servicing Your
Air
Bag-Equipped
Vehicle
Air
bags
affect
how
your
vehicle
should
be
serviced.
There
are
parts
of the
air
bag
system
in
several
places
around
your
vehicle. You don’t
wantthe system
to
inflate
while
someone
is
working
on
your
vehicle.
Your
dealer
and
the
Grand
Prix
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.
