Cadillac 2007 Automobile User Manual


 
{CAUTION:
When an airbag inflates, there is dust in
the air. This dust could cause breathing
problems for people with a history
of asthma or other breathing trouble.
To avoid this, everyone in the vehicle
should get out as soon as it is safe to
do so. If you have breathing problems
but cannot get out of the vehicle after
an airbag inflates, then get fresh air by
opening a window or a door. If you
experience breathing problems following
an airbag deployment, you should seek
medical attention.
Your vehicle has a feature that may automatically
unlock the doors and turn the interior lamps
on when the airbags inflate. You can lock the
doors again and turn the interior lamps off by
using the door lock and interior lamp controls.
In many crashes severe enough to inflate an
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 your 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.
Your vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information
after a crash. See Vehicle Data Collection
and Event Data Recorders on page 547.
Let only qualified technicians work on your
airbag system. Improper service can mean
that your airbag system will not work properly.
See your dealer for service.
