Curtain Airbag - Subaru Legacy 2015 Technicians Reference Booklet

2015 Legacy and Outback

Curtain Airbag

The protection area of the airbag has been expanded to improve protection of front and rear seat
occupants. The inflator is now located in the center of the B pillar and provides faster deployment
of the airbag.
A new clip is utilized to secure the Curtain Airbag to the vehicle body. The clip must be removed in
a precise method to avoid damage to the airbag and vehicle body. The inside of the clip is made
with 2 chambers that guide a locking tab expander into the lock position.
Curtain Airbag Clip
The locking tab expander itself is constructed with positioning tabs that permanently lock the
locking tab expander to the body of the Curtain Airbag Clip.
Positioning Tabs
New Curtain Airbag Clips are assembled and delivered in an unlocked position. Do not push the
locking tab expander inward until all parts are properly installed to the vehicle.
