THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 73 • Being too close to the SAB and SABIC airbags during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed. • Should a vehicle rollover occur, the pretensioners, SAB and/or SABIC airbags on both sides of the vehicle may deploy. The system includes side impact sensors adjacent to both front and rear seat occupants that are calibrated to deploy the Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags and SABIC airbags during impacts that require side airbag occupant protection. WARNING! • If your vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC), do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the location of the SABIC. The area where the SABIC is located should remain free from any obstructions. • 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. 2
