How does the side air curtain system work?

The design and development of the

side air curtain system included

recommended testing procedures

that were developed by a group of

automotive safety experts known as

the Side Airbag Technical Working

Group. These recommended testing

procedures help reduce the risk of

injuries related to the deployment of

side airbags (including side air

curtain systems).

The side air curtain system consists

of the following:

• An inflatable curtain with a gas

generator concealed behind the

headliner and above the doors.

• The headliner will flex to open

above the side doors to allow air

curtain deployment.

• The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used

for the front airbags.

• Two pressure sensors located in the front doors.

• Crash sensors located on the front doors and C pillars (one sensor on

each pillar on each side of the vehicle).

Side air curtains and side airbags, in combination with safety belts, can

help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side

impact collision.

Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in

the rear seats. The side air curtain 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 openings.
