Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtain (SABIC)
SABIC air bags may offer side-impact and ve-
hicle rollover protection to front and rear seat
outboard occupants in addition to that provided
by the body structure. Each air bag features
inflated chambers placed adjacent to the head
of each outboard occupant that reduce the
potential for side-impact head injuries. The
SABIC deploy downward, covering both win-
dows on the impact side.

NOTE:
• Air Bag covers may not be obvious in the
interior trim, but they will open during air
bag deployment.
• Being too close to the SAB and SABIC air
bags during deployment could cause you
to be severely injured or killed.
• Should a vehicle rollover occur, the pre-
tensioners and/or SAB and SABIC air
bags on both sides of the vehicle may
deploy.
The system includes side impact sensors that
are calibrated to deploy the Supplemental SAB
and SABIC air bags during impacts that require
side air bag occupant protection.
WARNING!
• Your vehicle is equipped with left and right
SABIC, do not stack luggage or other
cargo up high enough to block the location
of the SABIC. The area where the side
curtain air bag is located should remain
free from any obstructions.
• Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the SAB; the
performance could be adversely affected
and/or objects could be pushed into you,
causing serious injury.
• Your vehicle is equipped with SABIC air
bags, do not have any accessory items
installed which will alter the roof, including
adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do not
add roof racks that require permanent at-
tachments (bolts or screws) for installation
on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof
of the vehicle for any reason.
