If the impact is on the passenger’s

side, the passenger’s side curtain

airbag will inflate even if there are no

occupants on that side of the vehicle.

In a moderate to severe side impact,

sensors will detect rapid acceleration

and signal the control unit to

instantly inflate the side curtain

airbag and activate the seat belt

tensioner on the driver’s or the

passenger’s side of the vehicle.

If the rollover sensor detects your

vehicle is about to roll over, it signals

the control unit, which immediately

deploys both side curtain airbags and

activates both front seat belt

tensioners.

The airbag on the passenger’s side

will deploy, and the seat belt

tensioner will activate, even if there

are no passengers on that side of the

vehicle.

To get the best protection from the

side curtain airbags, occupants

should wear their seat belts and sit

upright and well back in their seats.
