2. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (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 re-
duction potential provided by the
seat belts and body structure.
The SABICs deploy downward, cover-
ing 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 occupants if
they are not belted and seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the SABICs inflate. Chil-
dren are at an even greater risk of
injury from a deploying air bag.
WARNING!
•
Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the deployment of
the SABICs. The trim covering above the side windows where the SABIC and its
deployment path are located should remain free from any obstructions.
• In order for the SABICs to work as intended, do not install any accessory items
in your vehicle which could alter the roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to
your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle
for any reason.
The SABICs and SABs (Side Air Bags) are designed to activate in certain side
impacts and certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side impact
or 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.
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.
