Air bag - supplemental restraint system
Curtain air bag (if equipped)
* The actual indicator in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the centre
pillar.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in cer
-
tain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash sever
-
ity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain
air bags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations, collisions from
the front or rear of the vehicle or in most
rollover situations.
NOTICE
if equipped with rollover sensor
僅 Also, both sides of the curtain air bags
deploy in certain rollover situations.
僅 The curtain air bag may deploy when
the rollover sensor detects the situa
-
tion as a rollover.
WARNING
僅 In order for side and curtain air bags
to provide their best protection, front
seat occupants and outboard rear
occupants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belts properly
fastened. Importantly, children should
sit in a proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.
僅 When children are seated in the rear
outboard seats, they must be seated
in the proper child restraint system.
Make sure to position the child
restraint system as far away from the
door side as possible, and secure the
child restraint system in a locked posi
-
tion.
僅 Do not allow the passengers to lean
their heads or bodies onto doors, put
their arms on the doors, stretch their
arms out of the window, or place
objects between the doors and pas
-
sengers when they are seated on
seats equipped with side and/or cur
-
tain air bags.
僅 Never try to open or repair any com
-
ponents of the side curtain air bag
system. If necessary, have the system
serviced by a professional workshop.
