bag deploys from the outboard side of the seat as
the seat is pulled down to its lowest position. See

WARNING
Always use the seat belts when operating the ve-
hicle. Failure to do so can result in severe per-
sonal injury or death. Do not place infants and
children in seats equipped with the RollTek sys-
tem. The RollTek system is designed for adults
only. Doing so could result in severe bodily in-
jury or death. Keep all heavy objects in the cab
secured. Do not place objects on the seat back
or block the side-roll air bag. Objects that block
the side-roll air bag may prevent proper inflation
and could result in serious injury or death.
The RollTek system will activate during a rollover
even if the seat belts are not fastened, but the
RollTek system is only designed to provide protection
to the occupant when the seat belts are fastened.
For vehicles with the RollTek system(s) only, de-
vice(s) deploy as follows:
•
Rollover Crash—occupant seat belt pretension-
ing, seat pretensioning, and side-roll air bag at
the proper time
•
Frontal Crash—no devices deployed
