Adding Equipment to Your Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Q:
if
I
add a push bumper
or
a bicycle rack to
the front of my vehicle, will
it
keep the air
bags from working properly?
A:
As
long as the push bumper or bicycle rack is
attached to your vehicle
so
that the vehicle’s basic
structure isn’t changed, it’s not likely to keep the
air bags from working properly in a crash.
Is
there anything
I
might add to the front of
the
vehicle that could keep the air bags from
working properly?
A:
Yes.
If
you add things that change your vehicle’s
frame, bumper system, front end sheet metal or
height, they may keep the air bag system from
working properly.
Also,
the
air
bag system may not
work properly if you relocate any of the
air
bag
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 Procedure in this manual.
See “Customer Satisfaction Procedure”
in
the Index.)
