3. Instructions for safe operation
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 “AIRBAG”.
In the event of a side collision which is severe
enough to meet the triggering condition of side
curtain airbag, the curtain airbag on the side
where the collision occurs will be triggered
by the system and deploy rapidly to assist
the seat belt in protecting the driver and front
passenger.
In certain collision accidents, the system may
simultaneously trigger other airbags.
The side curtain airbags might not be triggered
in the following cases:
-
The vehicle power switch set to “ACC” or
“OFF” position.
-
100% frontal collision.
-
Minor side collision.
-
Rear-end collision.
-
Other special circumstances.
NOTE
The word “minor” implies the severity of
collision sensed by the SRS controller and
has nothing to do with the damage of the
vehicle.
