If the air bag has deployed,
the air bag will not
function again. The side air
bag system (including the
seat) must be inspected and
serviced by a qualified
technician in accordance with
the vehicle service manual.If
the air bag is not replaced, the
unrepaired area will increase the
risk of injury in a collision.
The side air bag system consists of
the following:
An inflatable nylon bag (air bag)
with a gas generator concealed
behind the outboard bolster of the
driver and front passenger
seatbacks.
The same warning light,
electronic control and diagnostic
unit as used for the front air bags.
Two crash sensors located under
the outboard side of the seat,
attached to the floor.
Keep the sensors free from
contact with water. If water
has entered the floor area (i.e.,
due to flooding conditions) do not
start the vehicle until the floor
area is dry. Failure to due so may
result in a malfunction of the side
air bag or inadvertent side air bag
deployment.
