Question
IN PREP. FOR SNOWPLOWING ,AM CONCERNED ABOUT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ...I HAVE NO MANUAL TO REF  THE ABOVE AND SEE NO 'KEY SWITCH" ON DASH.

Answer
Hi Steve,

If you plan on pushing snow faster than 16MPH, then good luck if you slam into a parking barrier because from 16MPH on-up, the SRS system is active and deployment will occur if the vehicle sustains any type of major jolt to the undercarriage or frame. My advice would be to NOT push snow faster than 10MPH or disable the Air-Bag/SRS system.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
