# 1990 HIGH PRIORITY TRAINING

This bulletin supersedes bulletin 90-I-7, Group O, which on page 3 incorrectly lists the participants of the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint course (22008.15) as "experienced body and line technicians". The correct SIR course participants are "electrical technicians". Bulletin 90-1-7 should be discarded.

This bulletin outlines the 1990 Cadillac High Priority dealer training which will be conducted by the GM Service Technology Group (GMSTG) at the GM Training Centers. For 1990, Cadillac dealer high priority courses are:

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
