Depending on the version of software in your vehicle, the
Side Air Bags may deploy in one of the following ways:
1. A slower-developing rollover event may deploy the seat
belt pretensioners on both sides of the vehicle. A faster-
developing rollover event may deploy the seat belt
pretensioners as well as the Side Air Bags on both sides
of the vehicle. The rollover sensing-system may also
deploy the seat belt pretensioners, with or without the
Side Air Bags, on both sides of the vehicle if the vehicle
experiences a near rollover event.
Or
2. In the event the vehicle experiences a rollover or near
rollover event, and deployment of the Side Air Bags is
appropriate, the rollover sensing system will also de-
ploy the seat belt pretensioners on both sides of the
vehicle.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete
ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in
certain rollover or side impact events.
