SAFETY
110
NOTE:
Air bag covers may not be obvious in the inte
-
rior trim, but they will open during air bag
deployment.
Rollover Events
Side Air Bags are designed to activate in
certain rollover events. The Occupant
Restraint Controller (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 indi
-
cator of whether or not Side Air Bags should
have deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all roll
-
over events. The rollover sensing system
determines if a rollover event may be in prog
-
ress and whether deployment is appropriate.
In the event the vehicle experiences a roll
-
over or near rollover event, and deployment
of the Side Air Bags is appropriate, the roll
-
over sensing system will also deploy the seat
belt pretensioners on both sides of the
vehicle.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of
partial or complete ejection of vehicle occu
-
pants through side windows in certain roll
-
over or side impact events.
Air Bag System Components
NOTE:
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
monitors the internal circuits and intercon
-
necting wiring associated with electrical Air
Bag System Components listed below:
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
Air Bag Warning Light
Steering Wheel and Column
Instrument Panel
Knee Impact Bolsters
Driver and Front Passenger Air Bags
Seat Belt Buckle Switch
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Front and Side Impact Sensors — If
Equipped
Seat Belt Pretensioners
Seat Track Position Sensors
If A Deployment Occurs
The front air bags are designed to deflate
immediately after deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in
all collisions. This does not mean something
is wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the
air bags, any or all of the following may
occur:
The air bag material may sometimes cause
abrasions and/or skin reddening to the
occupants as the air bags deploy and
unfold. The abrasions are similar to fric
-
tion rope burns or those you might get
sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor.
They are not caused by contact with chem
-
icals. They are not permanent and
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 colli
-
sion. 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.
