Curtain airbags
OCN7030044
OCN7030043
Curtain airbags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
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 airbags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the side and/or curtain airbags and
pretensioners on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy if a rollover or possible
rollover is detected.
The curtain airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating curtain airbag:
• All occupants must wear seat belts at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
• Properly secure a Child Restraint
System as far away from the door as
possible.
• Do not place any objects over the
airbag. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the airbag inflates such
as door, side door glass, front and rear
pillar, and roof side rail.
• Do not hang other objects except
clothes, especially hard or breakable
objects near airbag locations. In an
accident, it may cause vehicle damage
or personal injury.
• Do not allow 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 seats.
• Do not open or repair the side curtain
airbags.
