Q: Can the installation of push bumpers on the
front end of the vehicle affect the deployment of
the airbag?
A: Yes, particularly if the push bumper significantly
changes the front structure of the vehicle. However,
GM conducts analysis on various push bumper
configurations to verify effectiveness of the sensing
performance system with minor changes in the front
structure of the vehicle which may occur from the
addition of a push bumper.
Q: Is there anything I might add to the exterior of
the vehicle that could keep the airbags from
working properly?
A: Yes. If you add things that change your vehicle's
frame, bumper system, height, front end or side
sheet metal, they may keep the airbag system from
working properly. Also, the airbag system may not
work properly if you relocate any of the airbag
sensors. If you have any questions about this, you
should contact Customer Assistance before you
modify your vehicle. The phone numbers and
addresses for Customer Assistance are in Step Two
of the Customer Satisfaction Procedures in the
owner's manual. See “Customer Satisfaction
Procedure” in your owner's manual index.
If your vehicle has rollover roof-rail airbags, see
“Different Size Tires and Wheels” in your owner's
manual for additional important information.
The service manual has information about the location
of the airbag sensors, sensing and diagnostic module,
and airbag wiring. See “Service Publications Ordering
Information” in your owner's manual.
