The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side
impacts. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the deploy-
ment of the Side Air Bags in a particular impact event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of
whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
WARNING!
• Side Air Bags 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 Side Air Bags during deployment could cause you to be
severely injured or killed.
• Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a
collision. The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions, Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt
even though you have Side Air Bags.
• This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs). Do not 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.
• This vehicle is equipped with SABICs. 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.
• 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.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will determine
whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following
functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the hazard light button
is pushed. The hazard lights can be deactivated by pushing the hazard light
button.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or for
15 minutes from the intervention of the Enhanced Accident Response System.
• Unlock the power door locks.
