All occupants of the vehicle including the driver should always

wear their safety belts even when an air bag SRS is provided.

To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the

deployment path of the inflatable curtain.

How does the side air curtain system work?

The side air curtain system consists

of the following:

• An inflatable nylon 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 air

curtains.

• Four crash sensors, two located

at the base of the “B” pillars

(above the front seats) and two

at the base of the “C” pillars

(above the 2nd row seats).

Side air curtains, in combination with seat belts, can help reduce the risk

of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact collision.

The side air curtains are mounted to the sheet metal above the first and

second row seats. In certain lateral collisions, the air curtain on the side

affected by the collision will be inflated, even if the respective seat is not

occupied. The air curtain was designed to inflate between the side

window area and occupant to further enhance the head protection

provided to occupants in side impact collisions.

The air curtain SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains

lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical

circuit that initiates air curtain inflation.
