Dodge 2010 Avenger Owner's Manual page 58

When the airbag deploys, it opens the seam between the
front and side of the seat's trim cover. Each airbag
deploys independently, that is a left side impact deploys
the left airbag only and a right-side impact deploys only
the right airbag.
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain
(SABIC) — If Equipped
SABIC airbags may offer side-impact and vehicle rollover
protection to front and rear seat outboard occupants in
addition to that provided by the body structure. Each
airbag features inflated chambers placed adjacent to the
head of each outboard occupant that reduce the potential
for side-impact head injuries. The SABIC airbags deploy
downward, covering both windows on the impact side.

• Should a vehicle rollover occur, the pretensioners
and/or SABIC curtains on both sides of the vehicle

but they will open during airbag deployment.
