When the head airbag is triggered, it de­
ploys from above in a downward direction,
covering the side windows and door col­
umns like a curtain - see illustration. It
therefore helps to protect both the front and
rear occupants at the same time.
To make certain that this additional protec­
tive functions is effective, make certain that
the areas in which the airbags deploy are
free of obstacles.
When the system is activated, fine dust is
released. This is normal and is not caused
by a fire in the vehicle. It could irritate your
skin.
