WARNING
A crash can damage the
airbag systems in your vehicle.
A damaged airbag system
may not work properly and
may not protect you and your
passenger(s) in a crash, resulting
in serious injury or even death.
To help make sure your airbag
systems are working properly
after a crash, have them
inspected and any necessary
replacements made as soon
as possible.
If an airbag inflates, you will need
to replace airbag system parts.
See your dealer for service.

system may not work properly.
Have the vehicle serviced right
away. See Airbag Readiness Light
on page 515 for more information.
