SEAT AIRBAGS (SAB)
The left and right seat airbags are located in the outboard end of the front seat backs. The airbag module contains a bag, an inflator (a small
canister of highly compressed argon gas) and a mounting bracket. The seat airbags cannot be repaired and must be replaced if deployed or in any
way damaged.
Only the Side Impact Airbag Control Module (SIACM) can deploy the side airbags. When supplied with the proper electrical signal the inflator
seals the hole in the airbag cushion so it can discharge the compressed gas it contains directly into the cushion. The bag is discharged directly
between the occupant and the side of the vehicle, protecting the occupant. Upon deployment, the seat back trim cover will tear open and allow the
seat airbag to fully deploy between the seat and the door.
WARNING: SEAT AIRBAG CONTAINS ARGON GAS PRESSURIZED TO OVER 17236.89 Kpa (2500 PSI). DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
