SABIC only. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indica-
tor of whether or not SABICs should have deployed.
SABICs will not deploy in all side collisions, including
some collisions at certain angles, or some side collisions
that do not impact the area of the passenger compartment.
SABICs may deploy during angled or offset frontal colli-
sions where the front air bags deploy.
SABICs are a supplement to the seat belt restraint system.
SABICs deploy in less time than it takes to blink your eyes.
WARNING!
•Occupants, including children, who are up against or
very close to SABICs can be seriously injured or
killed. Occupants, including children, should never
lean on or sleep against the door, side windows, or
area where the side air bags inflate, even if they are
in an infant or child restraint.
• Seat belts (and child restraints where appropriate)
are necessary for your protection in all collisions.
They also help keep you in position, away from an
inflating SABIC. To get the best protection from the

WARNING! (Continued)
SABICs, occupants must wear their seat belts prop-
erly and sit upright with their backs against the seats.
Children must be properly restrained in a child
restraint or booster seat that is appropriate for the
size of the child.
• Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high 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.
• SABICs need room to inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the SABICs during deployment
could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Relying on the SABICs alone could lead to more
severe injuries in a collision. 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.
NOTE: Air bag covers may not be obvious to you, but they
will open during air bag deployment.2

irritation, move to fresh air. If the irritation continues,
see your doctor. If these particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer ’s instructions for
cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed.
If you are involved in another collision, the air bags will
not be in place to protect you.

protect you in another collision. Have the air bags, seat
belt pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor assem-
blies replaced by an authorized dealer immediately.
Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller System
serviced as well.
NOTE:
• Air bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim,
but they will open during air bag deployment.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an
authorized dealer immediately.
