Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) — If Equipped
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) may provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact. The SAB is marked with an air bag label sewn into the outboard side of the front seats.

Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag Location
When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam between the front and side of the seat’s trim cover. Each air bag deploys independently; a left side impact deploys the left air bag only and a right-side impact deploys the right air bag only.
NOTE:
• Air Bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open during
air bag deployment.
• Being too close to the SAB during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
