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 “AIR-
BAG” label sewn into the outboard side
of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce the risk of
occupant injury during certain side impacts
and/or vehicle rollover 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 occupant and
the door. The SAB moves at a very high speed
and with such a high force that it could injure
occupants if they are not seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area where the SAB
inflates. Children 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.
2. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABICs): Located above the side
windows. The trim covering the SABICs
is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG.”
SABICs may help reduce the risk of head or
other injuries to front and rear seat outboard
occupants in certain side impacts and/or vehicle
rollover events, in addition to the injury reduc-
tion potential provided by the seat belts and
body structure.
