Supplemental Side Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) located in the
outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG label
sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs) located
above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG. The
SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle occupants through
side windows in certain rollover or side impact events.
The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side impacts and
certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the
deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side impact or rollover event is appropriate, based
on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether
or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
WARNING!
• Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in
the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The Side
Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, Side Air Bags
won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even though you have Side Air Bags.
• This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs). Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the deployment of
the SABICs. The trim covering above the side windows where the SABIC and its deploy-
ment path are located should remain free from any obstructions.
• This vehicle is equipped with SABICs. In order for the SABICs to work as intended, do not
install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter the roof. Do not add an
aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require permanent attach-
ments (bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the
vehicle for any reason.
• Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the Side Air Bags; the
performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed into you, causing
serious injury.
