Chevrolet Silverado: Airbag System / Replacing Airbag System Parts after a Crash
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. To help make sure the 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.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after the vehicle is started or comes
on when you are driving, the airbag system may not work properly. Have the vehicle
serviced right away. See Airbag Readiness Light.
The airbag system does not need regularly scheduled maintenance or replacement.
Make sure the airbag readiness light is working. See Airbag Readiness Light...
Other information:
The original equipment battery is maintenance free. Do not remove the cap and
do not add fluid.
Refer to the replacement number shown on the original battery label when a new
battery is needed. See Engine Compartment Overview for battery location...
There may be a passenger seat belt reminder light near the passenger airbag status
indicator. See Passenger Sensing System.
For vehicles equipped with the passenger seat belt reminder light, when the vehicle
is started this light flashes and a chime may come on to remind passengers to fasten
their seat belt...
