interaction with the front air bags.

Supplemental Driver And Front Passenger
Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental
Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instru-
ment panel below the steering column and a
Supplemental Passenger Knee Air Bag
mounted in the instrument panel below the
glove compartment. The Supplemental Knee
Air Bags provide enhanced protection during
a frontal impact by working together with the
seat belts, pretensioners, and front air bags.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SABs)
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs).
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SABs) are located in the outboard side of the
front seats and rear (in vehicles equipped
with outboard rear seat SABs) seats. The
SABs are marked with “SRS AIRBAG” or
“AIRBAG” on a label or on the seat trim on
the outboard side of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce the risk of
occupant injury during certain side impacts,
in addition to the injury reduction potential
provided by the seat belts and body structure.
When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam on
the outboard side of the seatback’s trim cover
(front seats) and the seam on the outboard
side of the seat cushion’s trim cover (out-
board rear seats if equipped with rear
SABs).. The inflating SAB deploys through
the seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The SAB moves at a
very high speed and with such a high force
that it could injure occupants if they are not
seated properly, or if items are positioned in
