WARNING
n No attaching objects
• Do not place any objects over the
air bag or between the air bag and
yourself. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the air bag
inflates such as the door, side door
glass, front and rear pillar.
• Do not place any objects between
the door and the seat. They may
become dangerous projectiles if
the side air bag inflates.
• Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side air bags.
• Do not hang heavy items on the
coat hooks for safety reasons.
Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the center
pillar.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in
certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash se‐
verity, angle, speed and impact. The
curtain air bags are not designed to de‐
ploy in all side impact situations, colli‐
sions from the front or rear of the ve‐
hicle or in most rollover situations.
WARNING
• In order for side and curtain air
bags to provide their best protec‐
tion, front seat occupants and
outboard rear occupants should sit
in an upright position with the seat
belts properly fastened. Impor‐
tantly, children should sit in a
proper child restraint system in
the rear seat.
