The Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to activate only in certain side collisions.
The ORC determines if a side collision requires the side air bags to inflate, based on the severity and type of collision.
Based on the severity and type of collision, the side air bag inflator on the crash side of the vehicle may be triggered, releasing a quantity of non-toxic gas. The inflating SAB exits through the seat seam into the space between the occupant and the door. The SAB fully inflate in about 10 milliseconds. The side air bag moves at a very high speed and with such a high force that it could injure you if you are not seated properly, or if items are positioned in the area where the side air bag inflates. This especially applies to children.
