WARNING
There is a possibility for a thorax-pelvis
side air bag related injury if occupants,
especially children, are not properly
seated or restrained when next to a thorax-
pelvis side air bag which needs to deploy
rapidly in a side impact in order to do its
job.
To help avoid the possibility of injury,
please follow these guidelines:
(1) Occupants, especially children,
should never place their bodies
or lean their heads in the area of
the door where the thorax-pelvis
side air bag inflates. This could
result in serious injuries or
death should the thorax-pelvis
side air bag be deployed.
(2) Always sit as upright as
possible, properly use the seat
belts, and for all children
12 years old or under, use an
appropriately sized infant
restraint, toddler restraint, or
booster seat recommended for
the size and weight of the child.
(3) Always wear seat belts properly.

WARNING
Only use seat covers which have been tested
and approved by smart for your vehicle
model. A seat cover must have a deployment
control seam for the thorax-pelvis side air
bag. Using other seat covers may interfere
with or prevent the deployment of the
thorax-pelvis side air bags. Contact an
authorized electric drive smart center for
availability.
Window curtain air bags
Window curtain air bags are designed to
provide increased protection for the head,
but not the chest or arms.
Window curtain air bags are deployed
R
on the impacted side of the vehicle
R
in instances with a high rate of lateral
vehicle deceleration or acceleration
R
independently of the front air bags
R
regardless of whether the passenger seat
is occupied
R
in a rollover if the system determines
that air bag deployment can offer
additional protection to that provided
by the seat belt.
The window curtain air bags are integrated
into the inner side of the roof frame. They
run above the doors from the A-pillar to the
B-pillar.
