GETTING STARTED
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 pro-
vided 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 be-
tween 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.
Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the SABs;
the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed into
you, causing serious injury.
