Warning!
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.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs)
This vehicle is equipped with
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs).
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs) are located above the
side windows. The trim covering the
SABICs is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or
“AIRBAG.”
SABICs may help reduce the risk of head
and other injuries to front and rear seat
outboard occupants in certain side
impacts, in addition to the injury
reduction potential provided by the seat
belts and body structure.
The SABIC deploys downward, covering
the side windows. An inflating SABIC
pushes the outside edge of the headliner
out of the way and covers the window.
The SABICs inflate with enough force to
injure occupants if they are not belted
and seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the SABICs
inflate. Children are at an even greater
risk of injury from a deploying air bag.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of
partial or complete ejection of vehicle
occupants through side windows in
certain side impact events.
Warning!
Do not mount equipment, or 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 deployment path are
located should remain free from any
obstructions.
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 attachments (bolts or screws)
for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not
drill into the roof of the vehicle for any
reason.
Side Impacts
The Side Air Bags are designed to
activate in certain side impacts. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
determines whether the deployment of
the Side Air Bags in a particular impact
event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision. The side
impact sensors aid the ORC in
determining the appropriate response to
impact events. The system is calibrated
to deploy the Side Air Bags on the impact
side of the vehicle during impacts that
require Side Air Bag occupant protection.
In side impacts, the Side Air Bags deploy
independently; a left side impact deploys
the left Side Air Bags only and a
right-side impact deploys the right Side
Air Bags only. Vehicle damage by itself is
not a good indicator of whether or not
Side Air Bags should have deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all
side collisions, including some collisions
at certain angles, or some side collisions
that do not impact the area of the
passenger compartment. The Side Air
Bags may deploy during angled or offset
frontal collisions where the front air bags
deploy.
