Supplemental Side Air Bags
Your vehicle is equipped with two types of side air bags:
1. Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs): Located in the outboard side of the
front seats. The SABs are marked with a “SRS AIRBAG” or AIRBAG” label sewn into
the outboard side of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce t he
risk of occupant injury during cer-
tain side impacts and/or vehicle roll-
over events, 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. The inflating
SAB deploys through the seat seam
into the space between the occu-
pant and the door. The SAB moves
at a very high speed and with such
a high force that it could injure oc-
cupants if they are not seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the SAB inflates. Chil-
dren are at an even greater risk of injury from a deploying air bag.
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.
