Supplemental Seat Side Airbags — If Equipped
Supplemental seat side airbags provide enhanced protec-
tion and work together with supplemental Side Airbag
Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) to help protect an occupant
during a side impact. The supplemental seat side airbag
is marked with an airbag label sewn into the outboard
side of the seat. When the bag deploys, it opens the seam between the
front and side of the seat’s trim cover. Each bag deploys
independently, that is a left side impact deploys the left
bag only and a right-side impact deploys only the right
bag.
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain
(SABIC) — If Equipped
SABIC airbags offer side-impact protection to front and
rear seat outboard occupants in addition to that provided
by the body structure. Each airbag features inflated
chambers placed adjacent to the head of each outboard
occupant that reduce the potential for side-impact head
injuries. The curtains deploy downward, covering both
windows on the impact side.
