Supplemental Side Air Bags
Your vehicle is equipped with two types of supplemental 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 the
risk of occupant injury during cer-
tain side impacts, in addition to the
injury reduction potential provided
by the seat belts and body struc-
ture
.
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
