Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain
(SABIC)
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
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 63
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.
NOTE:
• Should a vehicle rollover occur, the pretensioners
and/or SABIC airbags on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy.
• Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim;
but they will open during airbag deployment.
• Being too close to the side airbags during deployment
could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
The system includes side impact sensors adjacent to both
front and rear seat occupants that are calibrated to deploy
the side airbags during impacts that require side airbag
occupant protection.
