warning label pasted on the side

Side curtain airbag*
Side curtain airbags are installed in the left and
right sides of the roof respectively (as indicated
by the dotted dash) marked with “CURTAIN
AIRBAG”.
In the event of a severe side collision, the
side curtain airbags on the side where the
vehicle collides will be triggered by the system
and deploy rapidly to assist the seat belts in
protecting the driver and passengers.
In certain collision accidents, the system may
simultaneously trigger other airbags.
The side curtain airbags might not be triggered
in the following cases:
-
the ignition switch in “ACC” or “OFF”.
-
100% frontal collision.
-
minor side collision.
-
rear-end collision.
-
other special circumstances.
NOTE
The word “minor” implies the severity of
collision sensed by the vehicle control unit
and has nothing to do with the damage of
the vehicle.
