General Motors (1988-04)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 820 other vehicles, including the 2004 Suzuki Swift +, 2004 Saturn Vue, 2004 Saturn L300, 2004 Saturn Ion Red Line, and 2004 Saturn Ion 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Accidental air bag deployment is possible. Personal injury may result. Avoid area near steering wheel and instrument panel even if air bags have deployed. Dual-stage air bag modules may be present that could contain an undeployed stage. When disposing of a deployed dual-stage air bag, always treat it as a "live" module. See appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article.
