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.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped
Chevrolet
Air bags affect how your Chevrolet 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 Chevrolet dealer and the Camaro 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 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.
For up to
10
minutes after the ignition key
is
turned
off
and the battery is disconnected, an
air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured
if
you are close to an
air
bag when
it inflates. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape
or yellow connectors. They are probably part of
the air bag system. Be sure to follow proper
service procedures, and make sure the person
performing work for you is qualified to do
so.
The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.
