CURTAIN AIR BAG MODULE CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION

Construction
• The curtain air bag modules are equipped along the roof edge between the A and B pillars.
• The curtain air bag module is composed of the inflator, pipe, bag cover, and air bag.
• When the curtain air bag deploys, the A-pillar trim and headliner is spread apart by argon gas generated from
the inflator, inflating the air bag.
