SRS Air Bags

 Curtain Air  Bags 

*

    The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge 
along both sides.
  When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the 
curtain air bag infl ates quickly and helps to reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard 
passenger's head caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
  For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" 
(page   2-48 ).

In a side impact:

  Greater than moderate impact to one side of the vehicle will cause the curtain air bag on that 
side only to infl ate.

Only one side curtain air bag will deploy on the 
side of the vehicle that receives the force of an 
impact.

(With Front Passenger Occupant Classifi cation System)
In a roll-over:

  In response to a vehicle roll-over, both curtain air bags infl ate.

Both curtain air bags will deploy after 
the roll-over accident is detected.
