Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers in
outer seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact.
Housing Locations
The side curtain airbags are located in the
ceiling above the side windows on both sides
of the vehicle.
Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbags are most effective when
an occupant is wearing their seat belt properly and
sitting upright, well back in their seat.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or
roof pillars as they can interfere with the proper
operation of the side curtain airbags.
Operation
The side curtain airbag is designed to deploy
in a moderate-to-severe side impact.
When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled
frontal collision.
In this case, the side curtain airbags will deploy slightly after the front airbags.
