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 inflates 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 2-62).

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 inflate.

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 Classification System)

In a roll-over:

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

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