2. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains

(SABICs): Located above the side windows. The trim

covering the SABICs is labeled ЉSRS AIRBAGЉ or ЉAIR-

BAGЉ .

SABICs may help reduce the risk of head injury to front

and rear seat outboard occupants. SABICs may reduce

the risk of injuries in certain side impact and vehicle

rollover events, in addition to the injury reduction poten-

tial provided by the seat belts and body structure.
The SABICs deploy downward, covering the side win-

dows. An inflating SABIC pushes the outside edge of the

trim out of the way and covers the window. The SABICs

inflate with enough force to injure you if you 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 may help reduce the risk of partial or

complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side

windows in certain rollover or side impact events.
