Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag
Label
The SABs may help to reduce the risk of
occupant injury during certain side im-
pacts and/or vehicle rollover events, 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 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 deploy-
ing 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.

tains (SABICs): Located above the side win-

The SABICs deploy downward, covering
