208 SAFETY
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) La -
bel Location
SABICs (if equipped with SABICs) may help reduce the risk
of head and other injuries to front and rear seat outboard
occupants in certain side impacts, in addition to the injury
reduction potential provided by the seat belts and body
structure.
The SABIC deploys downward, covering the side windows.
An inflating SABIC pushes the outside edge of the headliner
out of the way and covers the window. The SABICs inflate
with enough force to injure occupants if they are not belted
and seated properly, or if items are positioned in the area where the SABICs inflate. Children are at an even greater
risk of injury from a deploying air bag.
The SABICs (if equipped with SABICs) may help reduce the
risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle occupants
through side windows in certain side impact events.
WARNING!
• Do not mount equipment, or stack luggage or other
cargo up high enough to block the deployment of the
SABICs. The trim covering above the side windows
where the SABIC and its deployment path are located
should remain free from any obstructions.
• In order for the SABICs to work as intended, do not
install any accessory items in your vehicle which could
alter the roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to
your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require perma -
nent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on
the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle
for any reason.
