frontal or near-frontal impact and deploy the front air bags in one of two stages as necessary for optimal occupant protection
Front and rear side air curtains with rollover protection (Opt. Tribute s ) (b)
• Use a sensor in each B-pillar and C-pillar and a rollover sensor in the
restraints control module to determine the deployment of side-impact
air bag protection
• Deploy from the outboard edge of the headliner to cover the side
windows from the A-pillar to the C-pillar and provide supplemental
head protection to front-seat and rear-seat occupants in the event of
certain side impacts

rollover may be imminent, deploys the air curtains, which remain
inflated for several seconds
