Q: Because I have a disability,
I have to get my vehicle
modified. How can I find out
whether this will affect my
airbag system?

Customer Assistance. The phone
numbers and addresses for
Customer Assistance are in
Step Two of the Customer
Satisfaction Procedure in this
manual. See Customer

Safety Belts
Now and then, check that the safety
belt reminder light, safety belts,
buckles, latch plates, retractors, and
anchorages are all working properly.
Look for any other loose or damaged
safety belt system parts that might
keep a safety belt system from doing
its job. See your dealer/retailer to
have it repaired. Torn or frayed
safety belts may not protect you in a
crash. They can rip apart under
impact forces. If a belt is torn or
frayed, get a new one right away.
Make sure the safety belt reminder
light is working. See Safety Belt
Reminders on page 3-35 for more
information.
Keep safety belts clean and dry.
See Care of Safety Belts on
page 5-82.
Airbags
The airbag system does not need
regularly scheduled maintenance or
replacement. Make sure the
airbag readiness light is working.
See Airbag Readiness Light
on page 3-36 for more information.
Notice: If an airbag covering is
damaged, opened, or broken, the
airbag may not work properly.
Do not open or break the airbag
coverings. If there are any opened
or broken airbag covers, have the
airbag covering and/or airbag
module replaced. For the location
of the airbag modules, see What
Makes an Airbag Inflate? on
page 1-55. See your dealer/retailer
for service.
