Curtain Air Bags
The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pil-
lars, and the roof edge along both sides.
When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater
than moderate force, the curtain air bag inflates quickly and helps to
reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard passenger's head caused
by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria" (→P. 74).
In a side impact
Greater than moderate impact to one side of the vehicle will cause
the curtain air bag on that side only to inflate.
Only one side curtain air bag
will deploy on the side of the
vehicle that receives the force
of an impact.
In a roll-over
In response to a vehicle roll-over, both curtain air bags inflate.
Both curtain air bags will deploy
after the roll-over accident is
detected.
