2. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs): Located above the side windows. The
trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG or
AIRBAG. (fig. 140)
SABICs may help reduce the risk of head injury to
front and rear seat outboard occupants. SABICs
may reduce the risk of injuries in certain side impact
and vehicle rollover events, in addition to the injury
reduction potential provided by the seat belts and
body structure.
The SABICs deploy downward, covering the side
windows. An inflating SABIC pushes the outside
edge of the trim out of the way and covers the
window. The SABICs inflate with enough force to
injure you if you 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 rollover or side impact events.
