Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) may
provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant
during a side impact. The SAB is marked with an air bag
label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam on the side
of the seat’s trim cover (front seats) and between the side
seat’s cushion trim cover (rear seats — if equipped with
rear SAB). Each air bag deploys independently; a left side
impact deploys the left air bag only and a right-side
impact deploys the right air bag only.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain
(SABIC)
SABIC air bags may offer side-impact and vehicle roll-
over protection to front and rear seat outboard occupants
in addition to that provided by the body structure. Each
air bag features inflated chambers placed adjacent to the
head of each outboard occupant that reduce the potential
for side-impact head injuries. The SABIC deploy down-
ward, covering both windows on the impact side.
