Supplemental Side Air Bags

Curtains (SABICs). The SABICs are located in the door trim below the side windows.
The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG.

•SABICsaredesignedtoactivateincertainsideimpacts.TheOccupantRestraint
Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the deployment of the SABIC in a particular
impact event is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage
by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not SABICs should have deployed.
WARNING!
•RelyingontheSABICsalonecouldleadtomoresevereinjuriesinacollision.The
SABICs work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, SABICs
won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even though you have SABICs.

enough to block the deployment of the SABICs. The door trim below the side
windows where the SABIC and its deployment path are located, should remain free
from any obstructions.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats
rather than in the front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children
ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.

Installing the Child Restraint Using the Vehicle Seat Belts
•ThefrontpassengerseatingpositionisequippedwithaSwitchableAutomaticLocking
Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around the
child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasion-
ally, and pull it tight if necessary.
•Thereisatetherstrapanchorlocatedbehindthechildtetheraccesscoverbehindthe
passenger seat.
Tether Anchorage Weight Limit
Always use the tether anchor when using
the seat belt to install a forward facing child
restraint, up to the recommended weight
limit of the child restraint.
To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:
1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing
from the retractor to pass it through the
belt path of the child restraint. Do not
twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a “click.”
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap
portion tight against the child seat.
4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the
shoulder part of the belt until you have
pulled all the seat belt webbing out of
the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to
retract back into the retractor. As the
webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This means the seat belt is now
in the Automatic Locking mode.
5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retrac-
tor. If it is locked, you should not be able
to pull out any webbing. If the retractor
is not locked, repeat the last step.
