determining the appropriate response to
impact events. The system is calibrated
to deploy the Side Air Bags on the impact
side of the vehicle during impacts that
require Side Air Bag occupant protection.
In side impacts, the Side Air Bags deploy
independently; a left side impact deploys
the left Side Air Bags only and a
right-side impact deploys the right Side
Air Bags only. Vehicle damage by itself is
not a good indicator of whether or not
Side Air Bags should have deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all
side collisions, including some collisions
at certain angles, or some side collisions
that do not impact the area of the
passenger compartment. The Side Air
Bags may deploy during angled or offset
frontal collisions where the front air bags
deploy.
Side Air Bags are a supplement to the
seat belt restraint system. Side Air Bags
deploy in less time than it takes to blink
your eyes.
Warning!
Occupants, including children, who are up
against or very close to Side Air Bags can be
seriously injured or killed. Occupants,
including children, should never lean on or
sleep against the door, side windows, or
area where the side air bags inflate, even if
they are in an infant or child restraint.
Seat belts (and child restraints where
appropriate) are necessary for your
protection in all collisions. They also help
keep you in position, away from an inflating
Side Air Bag. To get the best protection
from the Side Air Bags, occupants must
wear their seat belts properly and sit
upright with their backs against the seats.
Children must be properly restrained in a
child restraint or booster seat that is
appropriate for the size of the child.
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.
Note:
Air bag covers may not be obvious in the
interior trim, but they will open during air
bag deployment.
Rollover Events
Side Air Bags are designed to activate in
certain rollover events. The ORC
determines whether the deployment of
the Side Air Bags in a particular rollover
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.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all
rollover events. The rollover sensing
system determines if a rollover event
may be in progress and whether
deployment is appropriate. 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 deploy the seat
belt pretensioners on both sides of the
vehicle.
