NOTE:
• Should a vehicle rollover occur, the pre-
tensioners and/or SAB and SABIC air-
bags 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 SAB and SABIC
airbags during deployment could cause
you to be severely injured or killed.
The system includes side impact sensors ad-
jacent to both front and rear seat occupants
that are calibrated to deploy the SABIC airbags
during impacts that require airbag occupant
protection.
WARNING!
• If your vehicle is equipped with left and right
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Cur-
tain (SABIC), do not stack luggage or other
cargo up high enough to block the location
of the SABIC. The area where the SABIC is
located should remain free from any ob-
structions.
• Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the side airbags;
the performance could be adversely af-
fected and/or objects could be pushed into
you, causing serious injury.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Airbag
The supplemental driver side knee airbag pro-
vides enhanced protection and works together
with the advanced driver side frontal airbag
during a frontal impact.
Knee Impact Bolster
The Knee Impact Bolster helps protect the
knees of the passenger side front passenger
by positioning the passenger for the best inter-
action with the Advanced Front Airbags.
Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Ad-
vanced Front Airbags work with the driver side
knee airbag and the passenger side knee
bolster to provide improved protection for the
driver and front passenger. Side airbags also
work with seat belts to improve occupant pro-
tection.
Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying
airbag:
Children 12 years old and under should always
ride buckled up in a rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear-facing child restraints should
never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a
passenger Advanced Front Airbag. An airbag
deployment can cause severe injury or death
to infants in that position.
Children that are not big enough to wear the
vehicle seat belt properly (see Section on Child
Restraints) should be secured in the rear seat
in child restraints or belt-positioning booster
seats. Older children who do not use child
