28 1-2 Airbag system
Side curtain airbag (if fitted)
If your car is equipped with a left curtain airbag and a right curtain airbag (as shown above,
the airbag is installed at the connection between the side panel and the roof and marked
with “SRS AIRBAG Air Curtain” on the A-pillar guard, B-pillar guard and C-pillar guard.)
■
When the airbag system ECU senses a moderate to severe side collision and the
airbag triggering conditions are met during driving process, the airbag will be triggered
to protect the head of the occupant on the collision side to reduce the injury.
■
In case of a side impact, generally only the airbag on the collision side can be
triggered.
■
In order to obtain the best protection from the seat side airbag, the occupant must
correctly wear the seatbelt, maintain the upright sitting attitude and be against the seat
backrest.
