Section 22 (Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System): Identification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora and 1997 Buick Riviera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

All models equipped with a Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system have a number "2" (driver and passenger-side air bag modules) in the seventh position of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Vehicles have the words Inflatable Restraint marked on the steering wheel hub. Steering wheel hub is slightly larger in order to accommodate the driver-side air bag module.
