WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle including the driver
should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS
and side-curtain airbags (if equipped) are provided.
WARNING: To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place
objects in the deployment path of the inflatable side-curtain
airbags (if equipped).
How do the side-curtain airbags (if equipped) work?
The side-curtain airbags (if
equipped) consists of the following:
•
An inflatable nylon curtain with a
gas generator concealed behind
the headliner and above the doors
(one on each side of vehicle).
•
A headliner designed to flex open
above the side doors to allow
side-curtain airbag deployment.
•
The same warning light,
electronic control and diagnostic
unit as used for the front airbags.
•
Two crash sensors mounted at
lower B-Pillar (one on each side).
•
Two crash sensors located at the
c-pillar behind the rear doors
(one on each side).
•
Rollover sensor in the restraints control module (RCM).
The side-curtain airbags (if equipped), in combination with safety belts,
can help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant
side impact collision or rollover event.
Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in
the rear seats. The side-curtain airbags (if equipped) will not interfere
with children restrained using a properly installed child or booster seat
because it is designed to inflate downward from the headliner above the
doors along the side window opening.
