WARNING! (Continued)
inflate, even if they are in an infant or child
restraint.
• Seat belts (and child restraints where appropriate)
are necessary for your protection in all collisions.
They also help keep you in position, away from
an inflating SABIC. To get the best protection
from the SABICs, occupants must wear their seat
belts properly and sit upright with their backs
against the seats. Children must be properly re-
strained in a child restraint or booster seat that is
appropriate for the size of the child.
• Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high
enough to block the deployment of the SABICs.
The door trim below the side windows where the
SABIC and its deployment path are located
should remain free from any obstructions.
• SABICs 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 SABICs during deployment
could cause you to be severely injured or killed.

WARNING! (Continued)
• Relying on the SABICs alone could lead to more
severe injuries in a collision. The SABICs work
with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions, SABICs won’t deploy at all. Al-
ways wear your seat belt even though you have
SABICs.
NOTE: Air bag covers may not be obvious to you, but
they will open during air bag deployment.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or
complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side
windows in certain side impact events.
