Curtain air bag

❈ The actual air bags in the vehicle may dif-
fer from the illustration.
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.

They are designed to help protect
occupants in certain side impacts
and to help prevent them from eject-
ing out of the vehicle as a result of a
rollover, especially when the seat-
belts are also in use.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col-
lisions, depending on the crash sever-
ity, angle, speed and point of impact.
The side and/or curtain air bags do
not only deploy on the side of the
OPS033024
impact but also on the opposite side.
Also, the curtain air bags on both
sides of the vehicle will deploy in cer-
tain rollover situations.
The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
or rollover situations.
Do not allow the passengers to lean
their heads or bodies against the
doors, put their arms on the doors,
OPS033038
stretch their arms out of the window
or place objects between the doors
and passengers when they are seat-
ed on seats equipped with side
impact and/or curtain air bags.
