THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 69 WARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to open them manually. You may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbag inflation capability may be compromised. The protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating. • Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the side airbags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed into you, causing serious injury. Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) - If Equipped SABIC Airbags offer side-impact and vehicle rollover 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. NOTE: Should a vehicle rollover occur, the SABIC curtains on both sides of the vehicle are deployed. NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment. The system includes sensors adjacent to both front and rear seat occupants that are calibrated to deploy during an impact severe enough to require airbag occupant protection. 2
