Chevrolet Silverado: Airbag System / Airbag System Check
The airbag system does not need regularly scheduled maintenance or replacement.
Make sure the airbag readiness light is working. See Airbag Readiness Light.
Caution
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 coverings, have the airbag covering and/or airbag module replaced.
For the location of the airbags, see Where Are the Airbags? See your dealer for
service.
Adding accessories that change the vehicle's frame, bumper system, height, front
end, or side sheet metal, may keep the airbag system from working properly...
Warning
A crash can damage the airbag systems in the vehicle.
A damaged airbag system may not properly protect you and your passenger(s)
in a crash, resulting in serious injury or even death...
Other information:
This light should come on briefly when starting the vehicle. If it does not come
on, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn if there is a problem.
If this light stays on, take the vehicle to your dealer as soon as possible.
See the information for the Electric Parking Brake under Electric Parking Brake...
Warning
If a floor mat is the wrong size or is not properly installed, it can interfere
with the pedals. Interference with the pedals can cause unintended acceleration
and/or increased stopping distance which can cause a crash and injury. Make sure
the floor mat does not interfere with the pedals...
